-3 - 4 = -7 (minus seven)
Yes, it can mean the same but it depends on the context."What is 8 less 4?" means the same as "what is 8 takeaway 4?" (i.e. 8 - 4 = 4)However, "Is 3 less than 4?" is not asking "Is 3 takeaway 4?" as that question would make no sense!
8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12
1/3 - 1/7 = 7/21 - 3/21 = 4/21.
It is: 3 minus 0 = 3
-1 - 4 = -5
-1 - 4 = -5
the answer is -6
5 eighths 3/4 = 6/8 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
96. The sequence is: Multiply by 6. Takeaway 6. Multiply by 5. Takeaway 5. Multiply by 4. Takeaway 4 to give you the next [sought for number] in the sequence.
3 sevenths
is it 4?????
