The correct Answer is:
Let's solve the question step by step. ### Question: Subtract: (i) \( \frac{3}{5} \) from \( \frac{7}{10} \) (ii) \( -\frac{3}{5} \) from \( -\frac{5}{6} \) ### Solution: #### Part (i): Subtract \( \frac{3}{5} \) from \( \frac{7}{10} \) 1. **Identify the fractions**: We need to subtract \( \frac{3}{5} \) from \( \frac{7}{10} \), which can be written as: \[ \frac{7}{10} - \frac{3}{5} \] 2. **Find a common denominator**: The denominators are 10 and 5. The least common multiple (LCM) of 10 and 5 is 10. 3. **Convert the fractions**: Since \( \frac{3}{5} \) needs to be expressed with a denominator of 10: \[ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \frac{6}{10} \] 4. **Subtract the fractions**: \[ \frac{7}{10} - \frac{6}{10} = \frac{7 - 6}{10} = \frac{1}{10} \] 5. **Final answer for part (i)**: \[ \frac{1}{10} \] --- #### Part (ii): Subtract \( -\frac{3}{5} \) from \( -\frac{5}{6} \) 1. **Identify the fractions**: We need to subtract \( -\frac{3}{5} \) from \( -\frac{5}{6} \), which can be written as: \[ -\frac{5}{6} - \left(-\frac{3}{5}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ -\frac{5}{6} + \frac{3}{5} \] 2. **Find a common denominator**: The denominators are 6 and 5. The LCM of 6 and 5 is 30. 3. **Convert the fractions**: - For \( -\frac{5}{6} \): \[ -\frac{5}{6} = -\frac{5 \times 5}{6 \times 5} = -\frac{25}{30} \] - For \( \frac{3}{5} \): \[ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 6}{5 \times 6} = \frac{18}{30} \] 4. **Add the fractions**: \[ -\frac{25}{30} + \frac{18}{30} = \frac{-25 + 18}{30} = \frac{-7}{30} \] 5. **Final answer for part (ii)**: \[ -\frac{7}{30} \] ### Summary of Answers: (i) \( \frac{1}{10} \) (ii) \( -\frac{7}{30} \) ---
