Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 3/4 - 5/6 = -1/12 or negative one twelfth.
You can subtract the bigger fraction by the smaller fraction and then put a minus sign in front of the answer.
1/4
To subtract an improper fraction from a whole number, turn the whole number into a fraction with the same denominator as the improper fraction. Then minus. All whole numbers actually have a "1" as a denominator, we just don't write it (it's assumed.) E.g 10 = (10/1) 20 = (20/1) etc... to change the denominator to the same as the improper fraction, multiply the whole number (that is now a fraction over "1") by the denominator of the improper fraction. E.g Let the improper fraction be 17/4, and your real number be 20. From above, we know that 20 is the same as "20/1", with "1" as the denominator. You want this "1" to be "4", so multiply the real number by "4/4" (which is essentially multiplying by 1, so doesn't mess up how big the fraction is) 20/1 x 4/4 = 80/4. Now the denominators of both fractions are the same, you can minus the improper fraction from the whole number. i.e 80/4 - 17/4 = 63/4 Which is actually 15 3/4 .
4/10 - 1/5 = 2/5 - 1/5 = 1/5
1/4 - 3/4 = -2/4 or -1/2
3.1666 (repeating). In fraction: 19/6
It is a fraction- -3/5 over 8
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 1/7 - 4/9 = -19/63 (that is, minus nineteen sixty-thirds).
6 and 1/4
Answer: There are infinitely many possible answers. One such is 31/4 - 1/8 Answer: Choose any fraction. Add that to 3 1/8 to get the other fraction.
4/12 minus 1/9 = 2/9 in its simplest form
3/4 minus 1/5 is 11/20
It is: 4/5 minus 1/2 = 3/10
4/8 minus 1/8 is 3/8.
3/4 minus 1/6 is 7/12
-6/4 − 3/4 = -21/4
