3/83/4 - 3/8 = 6/8 - 3/8 = 3/8Always find the common denominator first when adding or subtracting fractions.
If it's two-thirds or three-fourths, then three fourths (3/4) is larger. To compare fractions, get them to a common denominator (12 in this case).2/3 = 8/123/4 = 9/12.Now that they have the same denominator, compare the numerators and 9/12 is bigger (equivalent to 3/4).
Multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator. 3 x 2 + 2 = 8 8/3
3/4 > 3/8 NB 3/4 & 3/8 = 6/8 & 3/8 6 > 3 , hence 3/4 > 3/8
The Least Common Denominator of 3/4 and 7/8 is 8.
Two eightsAnother Answer:-3/4 = 6/8
To find the least common denominator of 3/4 and 3/8, find the LCM of 4 and 8. The answer is 8. Convert 3/4 to 6/8.
3 fourths (thee quarters) ---- 3/4 times (multiply by) 1 eighth Numerator times numerator 3 times 1 =3 Denominator times denominator 4 times 8 = 32 3/4 x 1/8 = 3/32
3/4 = 6/8 (multiplying numerator and denominator by 2) and that is bigger than 5/8
3/83/4 - 3/8 = 6/8 - 3/8 = 3/8Always find the common denominator first when adding or subtracting fractions.
6/8
3/8 + 1/4... First make both numbers the same denominator. 3/8 + 2/8 add them together and you get your answer... 5/8
No, 3/4 is greater than 5/8, because when you find the Least Common Denominator, 3/4 equals 6/8, and 5/8 equals 5/8; In this case the LCD is 8.
First you need a common denominator: 3/4 and 5/8, the common denominator is 8. (4x2=8, 8x1=8) Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 3/4 by 2 so that it becomes 6/8. Now that a common denominator is established, you may subtract them with ease. 6/8 - 5/8 = 1/8.
3/4 plus 1/8 you must find a the greatest common denominator which is 8 so multiply 3/4 by 2/2 because that will give you 8 in the denominator and whatever you do to the top you must do to the bottom . so its not 6/8 + 1/8 which gives you 7/8
The answer is 1/8.
