Solve. 7/8 - 5/6 =

1/24

Step-by-step explanation: To subtract unlike fractions, our first step is to get a common denominator for those fractions.

The common denominator of 8 and 6 will be the

least common multiple of 8 and 6 which is 24.

To get a 24 in the denominator of 7/8, we

multiply top and bottom by 3 to get 21/24.

To get a 24 in the denominator of 5/6, we

multiply top and bottom by 4 to get 20/24.

So we have 21/24 - 20/24 which is 1/24.

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24
