The correct Answer is:
Let's solve the given problems step by step. ### (i) Subtract \( \frac{3}{5} \) from \( \frac{1}{2} \) 1. Rewrite the expression: \[ \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{5} \] 2. Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators (2 and 5): - LCM of 2 and 5 is 10. 3. Convert each fraction to have the common denominator: \[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{10} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{3}{5} = \frac{6}{10} \] 4. Now perform the subtraction: \[ \frac{5}{10} - \frac{6}{10} = \frac{5 - 6}{10} = \frac{-1}{10} \] **Final answer for (i):** \( \frac{-1}{10} \) --- ### (ii) Subtract \( -\frac{4}{7} \) from \( \frac{2}{3} \) 1. Rewrite the expression: \[ \frac{2}{3} - \left(-\frac{4}{7}\right) = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{4}{7} \] 2. Find the LCM of the denominators (3 and 7): - LCM of 3 and 7 is 21. 3. Convert each fraction to have the common denominator: \[ \frac{2}{3} = \frac{14}{21} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{4}{7} = \frac{12}{21} \] 4. Now perform the addition: \[ \frac{14}{21} + \frac{12}{21} = \frac{14 + 12}{21} = \frac{26}{21} \] **Final answer for (ii):** \( \frac{26}{21} \) --- ### (iii) Subtract \( -\frac{5}{6} \) from \( -\frac{3}{4} \) 1. Rewrite the expression: \[ -\frac{3}{4} - \left(-\frac{5}{6}\right) = -\frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{6} \] 2. Find the LCM of the denominators (4 and 6): - LCM of 4 and 6 is 12. 3. Convert each fraction to have the common denominator: \[ -\frac{3}{4} = -\frac{9}{12} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{5}{6} = \frac{10}{12} \] 4. Now perform the addition: \[ -\frac{9}{12} + \frac{10}{12} = \frac{-9 + 10}{12} = \frac{1}{12} \] **Final answer for (iii):** \( \frac{1}{12} \) --- ### (iv) Subtract \( -\frac{7}{9} \) from 0 1. Rewrite the expression: \[ 0 - \left(-\frac{7}{9}\right) = 0 + \frac{7}{9} = \frac{7}{9} \] **Final answer for (iv):** \( \frac{7}{9} \) --- ### (v) Subtract 4 from \( -\frac{6}{11} \) 1. Rewrite the expression: \[ -\frac{6}{11} - 4 \] 2. Convert 4 to a fraction with a denominator of 11: \[ 4 = \frac{44}{11} \] 3. Now perform the subtraction: \[ -\frac{6}{11} - \frac{44}{11} = \frac{-6 - 44}{11} = \frac{-50}{11} \] **Final answer for (v):** \( \frac{-50}{11} \) --- ### (vi) Subtract \( \frac{3}{8} \) from \( -\frac{5}{6} \) 1. Rewrite the expression: \[ -\frac{5}{6} - \frac{3}{8} \] 2. Find the LCM of the denominators (6 and 8): - LCM of 6 and 8 is 24. 3. Convert each fraction to have the common denominator: \[ -\frac{5}{6} = -\frac{20}{24} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{3}{8} = \frac{9}{24} \] 4. Now perform the subtraction: \[ -\frac{20}{24} - \frac{9}{24} = \frac{-20 - 9}{24} = \frac{-29}{24} \] **Final answer for (vi):** \( \frac{-29}{24} \) ---
