Question 735671

{{{5/12-14/16}}}.....find common denominator; f the denominators don't divide evenly, then multiply them together to get your new denominator. Change denominators, then subtract

you have denominators {{{12}}} and {{{16}}} and they are both divisible by {{{4}}}


{{{12=4*3}}} and {{{16=4*4}}}; so, common denominator will be {{{3*4*4=48}}}


{{{(5*4)/(12*4)-(14*3)/(16*3)}}}

{{{20/48-42/48}}}

{{{(20-42)/48}}}

{{{-22/48}}}

{{{-11/24}}}
