Correct Answer
A. 5/12Explanation
To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the fractions already have the same denominator of 12. When we subtract 3/12 from 8/12, we subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. So, 8/12 - 3/12 equals 5/12.Rate this question:

A. 4 3/10Explanation
The given expression represents the subtraction of two mixed numbers. To solve this, we subtract the whole numbers separately and then subtract the fractions separately. In this case, subtracting the whole numbers gives us 7 - 3 = 4. Then, subtracting the fractions gives us 4/10 - 1/10 = 3/10. Combining these results, the final answer is 4 3/10.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 11/24Explanation
To add fractions, they must have a common denominator. The least common denominator for 12 and 8 is 24.
1/12 is equivalent to 2/24. 3/8 is equivalent to 9/24.
Therefore, 1/12 + 3/8 = 2/24 + 9/24 = 11/24Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 13/24Explanation
To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 24. So, we convert 2/3 to 16/24 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 8. Next, we subtract 1/8 from 16/24, which gives us 15/24. However, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3. After simplifying, we get 5/8. Therefore, the correct answer is 13/24.Rate this question:

A. 13/20Explanation
To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 20. So, we rewrite 9/10 as 18/20. Then, we subtract 1/4 from 18/20. To do this, we multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/4 by 5 to get 5/20. Now, we can subtract the numerators: 18/20 - 5/20 = 13/20. Therefore, the correct answer is 13/20.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 1 5/14Explanation
To add fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 14. When we convert 6/7 and 1/2 to have a denominator of 14, we get 12/14 and 7/14 respectively. Adding these fractions together gives us 19/14. Since 19 is greater than 14, we can simplify this fraction to 1 5/14. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 5/14.Rate this question:

A. 2 5/7Explanation
To subtract fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 7. So, we convert the whole number 6 to a fraction with a denominator of 7, which is 42/7. Thus, the equation becomes 42/7 - 4/1. Subtracting the fractions, we get 38/7. Simplifying this fraction, we get 5 and 3/7, which can be written as 5 3/7. Therefore, the correct answer is 5 3/7, which is equivalent to 2 5/7.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 1 3/8Explanation
The given question involves adding two fractions, 3/4 and 5/8. To add fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8. To convert 3/4 into an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 8, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2. This gives us 6/8. Now, we can add 6/8 and 5/8, which equals 11/8. However, 11/8 is an improper fraction, so we can simplify it to a mixed number. Dividing 11 by 8 gives us 1 with a remainder of 3, so the answer is 1 3/8.Rate this question:

To add fractions, they must have a common denominator. The least common denominator for 12 and 4 is 12.
Convert 3/4 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 12: (3/4) * (3/3) = 9/12

Correct Answer
A. 15 1/5Explanation
To add mixed numbers, first add the whole numbers together, then add the fractions separately.
Given: 10 5/10 + 4 7/10
Adding the whole numbers: 10 + 4 = 14
Now, adding the fractions: 5/10 + 7/10 = (5 + 7)/10 = 12/10
Since the fraction can be simplified, we divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2: 12 ÷ 2 / 10 ÷ 2 = 6/5
Now, the sum of the fractions is 6/5.
Therefore, the sum of 10 5/10 and 4 7/10 is: 14 + 6/5
To add the whole number and the fraction: 14 + 6/5 = 14 + 1 1/5
So, the sum is 15 1/5.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 7/10Explanation
To subtract mixed numbers, we need to convert them into improper fractions. 5 1/5 is equal to 26/5 and 4 1/2 is equal to 9/2. Subtracting these two fractions gives us (26/5) - (9/2). To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator, which in this case is 10. Multiplying the numerator and denominator of (26/5) by 2 gives us (52/10), and multiplying the numerator and denominator of (9/2) by 5 gives us (45/10). Now we can subtract the fractions, resulting in (52/10) - (45/10) = 7/10. Therefore, the correct answer is 7/10.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 19/24Explanation
The given expression involves subtracting two mixed numbers. To subtract mixed numbers, we need to convert them into improper fractions. After converting, we subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. In this case, 4 1/6 is equivalent to 25/6 and 3 3/8 is equivalent to 27/8. Subtracting these fractions gives us 25/6 - 27/8. To subtract fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 24. After finding a common denominator, we can subtract the numerators, which gives us -19/24. Therefore, the answer is 19/24.Rate this question:

The given expression involves subtracting two fractions with the same denominator. When subtracting fractions with the same denominator, we simply subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. In this case, 7/9 - 4/9 equals 3/9. Since 3/9 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3, the final answer is 1/3.Rate this question:
