What is 3 over 25 - 2 over 89?

Answer 1

In order to add or subtract fractions, both fractions must have the same denominator. In order to make both the denominators equal each other, we will multiply each fraction by the opposite fraction's denominator over itself:

(3/25 x 89/89) - (2/89 x 25/25) = 267/2225 - 50/2225

Now we can subtract the numerators and we end up with 217/2225 to get our final answer we can divide 217 by 2225 and get our answer 0.1 or 1/10.

Note: 0.1 is rounded from 0.097 because 0.097 was too precise for our purposes.
