Ovation

Answer 1

the answer is incorrect

Answer 2

Incorrect

The correct answer is 1/6

Explanation:

Freddy is incorrect. You are not supposed to subract the denominators. When you are solving the equation you have to find a common denominator. You can only subtract the numerator, and the denominator is the same.

Find the LCM. The LCM in this case is 6.

`(3)/(6) -(2)/(6)`

Remember, only subtract the numerators. The denominator will still be 6.

`(1)/(6)`

1/6 is the correct answer. I hope this helps you!
