Question
Find the difference:
$\frac{6}{7}-\frac{9}{11}$
$\frac{6}{7}-\frac{9}{11}$
✓
Answer
We have,
$\frac{6}{7}-\frac{9}{11}$
Taking out the LCM of 7 and 11, we get
7 × 11 = 77
Now, we convert the given fractions to equivalent fractions by making the denominators 77
$=\frac{6\times11}{7\times11}\text{ and }\frac{9\times7}{11\times7}$
The difference between both the fractions are,
$=\frac{66-63}{77}$
$=\frac{3}{77}$
$\frac{6}{7}-\frac{9}{11}$
Taking out the LCM of 7 and 11, we get
7 × 11 = 77
Now, we convert the given fractions to equivalent fractions by making the denominators 77
$=\frac{6\times11}{7\times11}\text{ and }\frac{9\times7}{11\times7}$
The difference between both the fractions are,
$=\frac{66-63}{77}$
$=\frac{3}{77}$
