Question

What is the answer 8/5-1/6= ive been stuck on this question forever

Answer 1

1 13/30

Explanation:

First you want to make the denominators the same. You do this by multiplying them. However, whatever you do you to the denominator, you must also do to the numerator:

`(8x6)/(5x6)`-
`(1x5)/(6x5)`=
`(48)/(30)`-
`(5)/(30)`=
`(43)/(30)`

Now reduce to simplest terms:

`(43)/(30)`=1
`(13)/(30)`
