Question 638172
I would appreciate help on how to evaluate expressions with no mixed number answers.example 3/2-5/4.
---------------
{{{3/2-5/4}}}
Find a common denominator.
The product always works:  2*4 = 8
3/2 = 12/8
5/4 = 10/8
----
{{{12/8 - 10/8 = 2/8 = 1/4}}}
-----------
You can use the LCD, 4 in this case and get the same answer.
Sometimes the LCD is not so obvious, but the product always works.
