Subtraction of Fractions: Complete the missing numbers

To solve this problem, we need to determine the missing fraction in the equation $\frac{4}{5} - \_ = \frac{3}{5}$.

Since both fractions have the same denominator, we can focus solely on subtracting the numerators, as the denominators remain unchanged.

The numerators are $4$ and $3$. To find the missing fraction, calculate the difference between the numerators:

• Step 1: Subtract the numerators: $4 - 3 = 1$.
• Step 2: The common denominator remains $5$.
• Step 3: Thus, the missing fraction is $\frac{1}{5}$.

Therefore, the missing fraction in the equation is $\frac{1}{5}$.

Comparing with the options provided, the correct choice is option 2: $\frac{1}{5}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\frac{1}{5}$.

To solve this problem, we'll complete the following steps:

• Identify the given expressions
• Adjust the equation to find the missing fraction
• Calculate the correct value

Let's break this down:

We start with the problem statement:

$\frac{6}{7} - \text{missing fraction} = \frac{2}{7}$

To find the missing fraction, rearrange the equation:

$\text{Missing fraction} = \frac{6}{7} - \frac{2}{7}$

Since the denominators are identical (both are 7), we subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator constant:

$\text{Missing fraction} = \frac{6 - 2}{7} = \frac{4}{7}$

Upon reevaluating our options, we find $\frac{4}{7}$ matches option 4 in the answer choices.

The missing fraction that completes the equation is therefore $\frac{4}{7}$.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Identify the fractions involved: $\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$.
• Recognize that the denominators are the same, which simplifies subtraction.
• Subtract the fraction $\frac{1}{3}$ from $\frac{2}{3}$ to determine the missing fraction.

Let’s calculate the missing fraction:

Given the equation:

$\frac{2}{3} - \text{missing fraction} = \frac{1}{3}$

Rearrange to solve for the missing fraction:

$\text{missing fraction} = \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3}$

Because the fractions have a common denominator, subtract the numerators:

$\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2-1}{3} = \frac{1}{3}$

The missing fraction is thus $\frac{1}{3}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\frac{1}{3}$.

Let's solve the problem using the steps outlined in our analysis:

Start with the equation given in the problem:

$\frac{3}{8} - x = \frac{1}{8}$

Step 1: Add $x$ to both sides to isolate it:

$\frac{3}{8} = \frac{1}{8} + x$

Step 2: Subtract $\frac{1}{8}$ from both sides to solve for $x$:

$\frac{3}{8} - \frac{1}{8} = x$

Step 3: Simplify the left side of the equation:

• Subtract the numerators: $3 - 1 = 2$
• Maintain the common denominator: 8

So we have:

$\frac{2}{8} = x$

Therefore, the missing fraction is $\frac{2}{8}$.

Matching our solution to the answer choices, the correct choice is:

Choice 3: $\frac{2}{8}$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\frac{2}{8}$.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Restate the equation in terms of subtraction.
• Step 2: Perform the subtraction.
• Step 3: Verify and simplify, if needed.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: We are given the equation $\frac{9}{5} - \text{(missing fraction)} = \frac{6}{5}$.

Step 2: To find the missing fraction, rearrange this as subtraction: $\text{Missing fraction} = \frac{9}{5} - \frac{6}{5}$.

Step 3: Perform the subtraction:

$\text{Missing fraction} = \frac{9}{5} - \frac{6}{5} = \frac{9 - 6}{5} = \frac{3}{5}$.

Thus, the missing fraction is $\frac{3}{5}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\frac{3}{5}$.

To find the missing fraction in the equation $\frac{10}{7} - \text{missing fraction} = \frac{5}{7}$, follow these steps:

Step 1: Identify the given equation.
According to the problem, we have:

$\frac{10}{7} - \text{missing fraction} = \frac{5}{7}$

Step 2: Rearrange the equation to solve for the missing fraction.
If we let the missing fraction be $x$, our equation becomes:

$\frac{10}{7} - x = \frac{5}{7}$

Step 3: Isolate $x$ by subtracting $\frac{5}{7}$ from both sides of the equation:

$x = \frac{10}{7} - \frac{5}{7}$

Step 4: Simplify the subtraction.
Since the denominators are the same, we subtract the numerators directly:

$x = \frac{10 - 5}{7}$

$x = \frac{5}{7}$

Therefore, the missing fraction in the equation is $\frac{5}{7}$.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the fractions in the problem.
• Step 2: Use the subtraction property of fractions with the same denominator.
• Step 3: Solve for the missing fraction.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: We are given $\frac{5}{6} - \text{missing fraction} = \frac{2}{6}$.
Step 2: Using the property of subtraction, we can set up the equation as follows:
Let the missing fraction be $\frac{x}{6}$. Then:
$\frac{5}{6} - \frac{x}{6} = \frac{2}{6}$

Step 3: By manipulating the numerators, we have:
$5 - x = 2$
Solving for $x$, we get:
$x = 5 - 2 = 3$

Therefore, the missing fraction is $\frac{3}{6}$.

To solve the problem, we start with the equation:

$\frac{3}{2} - x = \frac{1}{2}$

We need to determine the value of $x$. To do this, let's isolate $x$ on one side of the equation:

Step 1: Rearrange the equation to solve for $x$:

$x = \frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{2}$

Step 2: Perform the subtraction. Since the denominators are the same, you can directly subtract the numerators:

$x = \frac{3 - 1}{2}$

Step 3: Simplify the expression:

$x = \frac{2}{2}$

$x = 1$

Thus, the missing fraction is $1$.

To solve this problem, we will subtract the given result fraction from the initial fraction to find the missing fraction.

Step 1: Identify the given fractions.
We are given $\frac{3}{5}$ and need to identify the fraction that, when subtracted, results in $\frac{2}{5}$.

Step 2: Perform the subtraction on the numerators.
The equation we form is:

$\frac{3}{5} - \text{missing fraction} = \frac{2}{5}$

We rearrange this to solve for the missing fraction:
$\text{missing fraction} = \frac{3}{5} - \frac{2}{5}$

Step 3: Calculate the difference of the numerators since the denominators are the same:
$\frac{3 - 2}{5} = \frac{1}{5}$

Thus, the missing fraction is $\frac{1}{5}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\frac{1}{5}$.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Identify the fractions involved in the given equation.
• Subtract the result fraction from the starting fraction to find the missing fraction.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Identify the fractions.
The given equation is $\frac{3}{4} - \text{(missing fraction)} = \frac{2}{4}$.

Step 2: Subtract the result fraction from the starting fraction.
We rearrange the equation to find the missing fraction: $\frac{3}{4} - \frac{2}{4} = \text{missing fraction}$.

Step 3: Perform the subtraction.
Since the denominators are the same (4), we subtract the numerators: $3 - 2 = 1$.

Step 4: Write the result over the common denominator.
The missing fraction is $\frac{1}{4}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\frac{1}{4}$.

Step 3: Perform the subtraction by subtracting the numerators:

$\frac{2}{5} - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2 - 1}{5} = \frac{1}{5}$.

Step 1: Given the equation $\frac{7}{9} - x = \frac{2}{9}$, we want to find $x$.
The equation given is $\frac{7}{9} - x = \frac{2}{9}$.

Step 2: To find $x$, rearrange the equation to solve for $x$:
$x = \frac{7}{9} - \frac{2}{9}$

Step 3: Subtract $\frac{2}{9}$ from $\frac{7}{9}$:
$x = \frac{7 - 2}{9} = \frac{5}{9}$

Therefore, the missing fraction is $\frac{5}{9}$.
