Question

What is the difference between 10/3 and 3/2​

Answer 1

`(11)/(6)`

Explanation:

Part 1

Look for a common denominator between the two #s. Let's put 6 as the common denominator.

10/3:

The denominator 3, times 2 equals 6 so, multiply the numerator by 2 also.

So, 10/3 is equivalent to 20/6.

3/2:

The denominator 2, times 3 equals 6 so, multiply the numerator by 3 also.

So, 3/2 is equivalent to 9/6.

Part 2

Find the difference between the fractions by subtracting them:

`(20)/(6) - (9)/(6) = (11)/(6)`

Your answer is 11/6

Answer 2

1 5/6

Explanation:

To subtract fractions, change the base number to the same number (denominator) by multiplying the same number to the numerator and denominator

10/3-3/2=20/6-9/6

=11/6

1 5/6
