Simplify the following:
48/6 - 10/3
Hint: | Reduce 48/6 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of 48 and 6.
The gcd of 48 and 6 is 6, so 48/6 = (6×8)/(6×1) = 6/6×8 = 8:
8 - 10/3
Hint: | Put the fractions in 8 - 10/3 over a common denominator.
Put 8 - 10/3 over the common denominator 3. 8 - 10/3 = (3×8)/3 - 10/3:
(3×8)/3 - 10/3
Hint: | Multiply 3 and 8 together.
3×8 = 24:
24/3 - 10/3
Hint: | Subtract the fractions over a common denominator to a single fraction.
