Question 533 Marks

Find the difference:
$\frac{5}{6}-\frac{3}{4}$

Answer

$\frac{5}{6}-\frac{3}{4}$
LCM of 6 and 4 = 12
$\therefore\frac{5}{6}=\frac{5\times2}{6\times2}=\frac{10}{12}$
$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3\times3}{4\times3}=\frac{9}{12}$
$\therefore\frac{5}{6}-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{10}{12}-\frac{9}{12}$
$=\frac{10-9}{12}=\frac{1}{12}$

Question 543 Marks

Arrange the following fractions in ascending order:
$\frac{4}{5},\frac{7}{10},\frac{11}{15},\frac{17}{20}$

Answer

$\frac{4}{5},\frac{7}{10},\frac{11}{15},\frac{17}{20}$Writing them into like fractions, LCM of 5, 10, 15, 20 = 60
Now $\frac{4}{5}=\frac{4\times12}{5\times12}=\frac{48}{60}$
$\frac{7}{10}=\frac{7\times6}{10\times6}=\frac{42}{60}$
$\frac{11}{15}=\frac{11\times4}{15\times4}=\frac{44}{60}$
$\frac{11}{12}=\frac{11\times3}{12\times3}=\frac{33}{36}$
Now, arranging them in ascending order,
$\frac{42}{60}<\frac{44}{60}<\frac{48}{60}<\frac{51}{60}$
or $\frac{7}{10}<\frac{11}{15}<\frac{4}{5}<\frac{17}{20}$

Question 553 Marks

Find the difference:
$7-4\frac{2}{3}=\frac{7}{1}-\frac{14}{3}$

Answer

$7-4\frac{2}{3}=\frac{7}{1}-\frac{14}{3}$
LCM of 1 and 3 = 3
$\therefore\frac{7\times3}{1\times3}=\frac{21}{3}$
$\frac{7}{1}-\frac{14}{3}=\frac{21}{3}-\frac{14}{3}$
$=\frac{21-14}{3}=-\frac{7}{3}=2\frac{1}{3}$
