Subtract show all of your work 7/8 - 1/6

7/8= 42/48
1/6=8/48

Your answer would be 34/48 or 7/8

First of all, the denominators are not the same. To fix this, simply multiply the two denominators together.

Now we have x/48 - y/48 = ?

How many times does 8 go into 48? 6 times. 6 times the numerator which is 7

How many times does 6 go into 58? 8 times. 8 times the numerator which is 1

Now we have 42/48 - 8/48 = 34/48
Can we simplify 34/48? Yes.

34/48 / 2/2 = 17/24

Let's assume we were given 2 numbers: 15 and 30. their sum is: we want to express it as the product of gcf and another sum.15 is divisible by: 1, 3, 5, 1530 is divisible by: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30the greatest number that appears in 2 series is 15.in this case sum of two numbers can always be written as:
