Solve the following equation:
34−16= ? \frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{6}=\text{ ?} 43−61= ?
In this question, we need to find a common denominator.However, we don't have to multiply the denominators by each other as there is a lowest common denominator: 12.
3×33×4 \frac{3\times3}{3\times4} 3×43×3
1×26×2 \frac{1\times2}{6\times2} 6×21×2
912−212=9−212=712 \frac{9}{12}-\frac{2}{12}=\frac{9-2}{12}=\frac{7}{12} 129−122=129−2=127
712 \frac{7}{12} 127
