How do you find the difference between two fractions?
Change the fractions so that they have a common denominator. Then subtract the two numerators and put the result over the common denominator. Example: Difference between 1/3 and 1/4. First change the fractions so that they have common denominators: 4/12 and 3/12. Subtract the numerators: 4-3=1 Answer: 1/12.
What is the distance between 1 and -3 on a number line?
4
Addition is to sum as subtraction is to?
The expected answer is probably difference, whereas it should be "ordered difference". This is because addition is commutative but subtraction is not. That is to say, addition of 3 and 4 gives the answer 7, whether it is calculated as 3 + 4 or as 4 + 3. However, the result of subtraction of 3 and 4 depends on whether you calculate 3 - 4 (= -1) or 4 - 3 (= 1). The difference, in either case is 1 but the ordered difference is the figure in the bracket. .
What is the difference between -5 -1 2 5 1 -2 - 4 -4 -5 -2 -1 0 0 1?
+4 +3 +3 -4 -3 -2 0 -1 +3 +1+1 0 +1
The difference of two numbers is less than the greater number?
Not always: Consider 3 and 2: the difference is 3 - 2 = 1 < the larger Now consider 3 and 0: the difference is 3 - 0 = 3 = the larger Now consider 3 and -1: the difference is 3 - (-1) = 4 > the larger.
