The correct Answer is:
To find the difference between the fractions \( \frac{4}{7} \) and \( \frac{3}{10} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the Denominators The denominators of the fractions are 7 and 10. We need to find the LCM of these two numbers. - The factors of 7 are just 7 (since it is a prime number). - The factors of 10 are 2 and 5. Since there are no common factors between 7 and 10, the LCM is calculated by multiplying these numbers together: \[ \text{LCM} = 7 \times 10 = 70 \] ### Step 2: Rewrite Each Fraction with the LCM as the Denominator Now that we have the LCM, we will rewrite each fraction so that they both have a denominator of 70. - For \( \frac{4}{7} \): \[ \frac{4}{7} = \frac{4 \times 10}{7 \times 10} = \frac{40}{70} \] - For \( \frac{3}{10} \): \[ \frac{3}{10} = \frac{3 \times 7}{10 \times 7} = \frac{21}{70} \] ### Step 3: Subtract the Two Fractions Now we can subtract the two fractions: \[ \frac{40}{70} - \frac{21}{70} = \frac{40 - 21}{70} = \frac{19}{70} \] ### Final Answer The difference between \( \frac{4}{7} \) and \( \frac{3}{10} \) is: \[ \frac{19}{70} \] ---
