The correct Answer is:
Let's evaluate each expression step by step: ### (i) \( \frac{3}{4} - \frac{4}{5} \) 1. **Find the LCM of the denominators (4 and 5)**: - LCM(4, 5) = 20. 2. **Convert each fraction to have the same denominator**: - \( \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 5}{4 \times 5} = \frac{15}{20} \) - \( \frac{4}{5} = \frac{4 \times 4}{5 \times 4} = \frac{16}{20} \) 3. **Subtract the fractions**: - \( \frac{15}{20} - \frac{16}{20} = \frac{15 - 16}{20} = \frac{-1}{20} \) ### (ii) \( -3 - \frac{4}{7} \) 1. **Convert -3 to a fraction**: - \( -3 = \frac{-21}{7} \) 2. **Combine the fractions**: - \( \frac{-21}{7} - \frac{4}{7} = \frac{-21 - 4}{7} = \frac{-25}{7} \) ### (iii) \( \frac{7}{24} - \frac{19}{36} \) 1. **Find the LCM of the denominators (24 and 36)**: - LCM(24, 36) = 72. 2. **Convert each fraction**: - \( \frac{7}{24} = \frac{7 \times 3}{24 \times 3} = \frac{21}{72} \) - \( \frac{19}{36} = \frac{19 \times 2}{36 \times 2} = \frac{38}{72} \) 3. **Subtract the fractions**: - \( \frac{21}{72} - \frac{38}{72} = \frac{21 - 38}{72} = \frac{-17}{72} \) ### (iv) \( \frac{14}{15} - \frac{13}{20} \) 1. **Find the LCM of the denominators (15 and 20)**: - LCM(15, 20) = 60. 2. **Convert each fraction**: - \( \frac{14}{15} = \frac{14 \times 4}{15 \times 4} = \frac{56}{60} \) - \( \frac{13}{20} = \frac{13 \times 3}{20 \times 3} = \frac{39}{60} \) 3. **Subtract the fractions**: - \( \frac{56}{60} - \frac{39}{60} = \frac{56 - 39}{60} = \frac{17}{60} \) ### (v) \( \frac{4}{9} - \frac{2}{-3} \) 1. **Convert \( \frac{2}{-3} \) to \( -\frac{2}{3} \)**: - So, \( \frac{4}{9} + \frac{2}{3} \). 2. **Find the LCM of the denominators (9 and 3)**: - LCM(9, 3) = 9. 3. **Convert \( \frac{2}{3} \)**: - \( \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 3}{3 \times 3} = \frac{6}{9} \) 4. **Add the fractions**: - \( \frac{4}{9} + \frac{6}{9} = \frac{4 + 6}{9} = \frac{10}{9} \) ### (vi) \( \frac{7}{11} - \frac{-4}{-11} \) 1. **Convert \( \frac{-4}{-11} \) to \( \frac{4}{11} \)**: - So, \( \frac{7}{11} - \frac{4}{11} \). 2. **Subtract the fractions**: - \( \frac{7}{11} - \frac{4}{11} = \frac{7 - 4}{11} = \frac{3}{11} \) ### (vii) \( \frac{-5}{14} - \left(-\frac{2}{7}\right) \) 1. **Convert \( -\frac{2}{7} \) to \( +\frac{2}{7} \)**: - So, \( \frac{-5}{14} + \frac{2}{7} \). 2. **Find the LCM of the denominators (14 and 7)**: - LCM(14, 7) = 14. 3. **Convert \( \frac{2}{7} \)**: - \( \frac{2}{7} = \frac{2 \times 2}{7 \times 2} = \frac{4}{14} \) 4. **Add the fractions**: - \( \frac{-5}{14} + \frac{4}{14} = \frac{-5 + 4}{14} = \frac{-1}{14} \) ### (viii) \( \frac{-5}{-8} - \frac{-3}{4} \) 1. **Convert \( \frac{-5}{-8} \) to \( \frac{5}{8} \)** and \( -\frac{-3}{4} \) to \( +\frac{3}{4} \): - So, \( \frac{5}{8} + \frac{3}{4} \). 2. **Find the LCM of the denominators (8 and 4)**: - LCM(8, 4) = 8. 3. **Convert \( \frac{3}{4} \)**: - \( \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 2}{4 \times 2} = \frac{6}{8} \) 4. **Add the fractions**: - \( \frac{5}{8} + \frac{6}{8} = \frac{5 + 6}{8} = \frac{11}{8} \) ### Summary of Answers: 1. \( \frac{-1}{20} \) 2. \( \frac{-25}{7} \) 3. \( \frac{-17}{72} \) 4. \( \frac{17}{60} \) 5. \( \frac{10}{9} \) 6. \( \frac{3}{11} \) 7. \( \frac{-1}{14} \) 8. \( \frac{11}{8} \)
