The correct Answer is:
Let's solve the given problems step by step. ### (i) Subtract \(\frac{3}{4}\) from \(\frac{2}{3}\) 1. **Identify the fractions**: We need to subtract \(\frac{3}{4}\) from \(\frac{2}{3}\). This can be written as: \[ \frac{2}{3} - \frac{3}{4} \] 2. **Find the least common multiple (LCM)**: The denominators are 3 and 4. The LCM of 3 and 4 is 12. 3. **Convert the fractions to have the same denominator**: - For \(\frac{2}{3}\): \[ \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 4}{3 \times 4} = \frac{8}{12} \] - For \(\frac{3}{4}\): \[ \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{9}{12} \] 4. **Subtract the fractions**: \[ \frac{8}{12} - \frac{9}{12} = \frac{8 - 9}{12} = \frac{-1}{12} \] ### Final answer for (i): \[ \frac{-1}{12} \] --- ### (ii) Subtract \(-\frac{5}{7}\) from \(-\frac{2}{5}\) 1. **Identify the fractions**: We need to subtract \(-\frac{5}{7}\) from \(-\frac{2}{5}\). This can be written as: \[ -\frac{2}{5} - \left(-\frac{5}{7}\right) = -\frac{2}{5} + \frac{5}{7} \] 2. **Find the least common multiple (LCM)**: The denominators are 5 and 7. The LCM of 5 and 7 is 35. 3. **Convert the fractions to have the same denominator**: - For \(-\frac{2}{5}\): \[ -\frac{2}{5} = -\frac{2 \times 7}{5 \times 7} = -\frac{14}{35} \] - For \(\frac{5}{7}\): \[ \frac{5}{7} = \frac{5 \times 5}{7 \times 5} = \frac{25}{35} \] 4. **Add the fractions**: \[ -\frac{14}{35} + \frac{25}{35} = \frac{-14 + 25}{35} = \frac{11}{35} \] ### Final answer for (ii): \[ \frac{11}{35} \] ---
