SORRY I COPIED THE PROBLEM ALL WRONG:
\n" ); document.write( "ILL TRY AGAIN:
\n" ); document.write( "7/12-6/8 NOW CHANGE BOTH FRACTIONS SO THEY HAVE A COMMON DENOMINATOR THUS:
\n" ); document.write( "WE GET THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR BY MULTIPLYING THE LARGETS DENOMINATOR BY 2 & SEE IF THE OTHER DENOMINATOR DIVIDES EVENLY INTO IT THUS:
\n" ); document.write( "2*12/8=24/8=3 THEREFOR 24 IS A COMMON DENOMINATOR.
\n" ); document.write( "7/12=X/24 CROSS MULTIPLY:
\n" ); document.write( "12X=7*24
\n" ); document.write( "12X=168
\n" ); document.write( "X=168/12
\n" ); document.write( "X=14 THEN:
\n" ); document.write( "7/12=14/24 IS THE SAME AS 7/12
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "6/8=X/24 CROSS MULTIPLY.
\n" ); document.write( "8X=6*24
\n" ); document.write( "8X=144
\n" ); document.write( "X=144/8
\n" ); document.write( "X=18 THEN:
\n" ); document.write( "6/8=18/24 IS THE SAME AS 6/8
\n" ); document.write( "NOW WE CAN SUBTRACT THESE FRACTIONS THUS:
\n" ); document.write( "14/24-18/24=-4/24 NOW REDUCE BY DIVIDING BY 4/4=-1/6
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
