(B - 2) ÷ 5 = 3÷5
(B - 2) ÷ 5 × 5 = 3 ÷5 × 5
B - 2 = 3
B - 2 + 2 = 3 + 2
B = 5

5/6 - 1/5 Subtraction of fractions. Step 1 ; Form improper fractions ( not required in this case). Step 2 ; Bring both denominators to the same value , and the numerators to equivalent values. Hence [5(5) - 1(6)] / ( 5 x 6) [ 25 - 6] / 30 Step 3; subtract the numerators [19] /30 Step 4 ; Cancel down if possible ( not possible in this case) Step 5; Convert to a mixed number ( not required in this case). Hence the answer is 19/30 NB For addition of fractions go through the same steps. Except at Step 3, you ADD the numerators. NNB Multiplication and division of fractions require different techniques.

5 over 8
...7 over 36?
If you say so!
1/3 minus 2/5 is -1/15
3/5 minus 2/10 is 2/5
4 over 7
5/8 − 1 = -3/8
