Question
Solve: $\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{3}$
✓
Answer
Here,
$LCM $of $6$ and $3$ is $12,$
$\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{3}$
= $\frac{5 \times 2-1 \times 4}{12}$
= $\frac{10-4}{12}$
= $\frac{6}{12}$
= $\frac{1}{2}$
$LCM $of $6$ and $3$ is $12,$
$\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{3}$
= $\frac{5 \times 2-1 \times 4}{12}$
= $\frac{10-4}{12}$
= $\frac{6}{12}$
= $\frac{1}{2}$
