Question

Subtract: 2/3 - 3/8

answer in reduced terms

Answer 1

The answer would be 7/24

You can start by finding a common denominator. Since the lowest common denominator 3 and 8 have in common is 24 then that would be your denominator.

Then you can cross multiply 3*3= 9 and 2*8=16

`(16-9)/(24)`

16-9= 7

7/24

Then you are left with your answer:

`(7)/(24)` is already in reduced terms.

Hope this helps! :3
