Question

What is 1/2 - 5/6

PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

U have to make the denominators (bottom #s) equal. So make 1/2 into 3/6. then it would be 3/6-5/6=____... Im a sophomore so i havent done this in forever i hope its right...

Answer 2

You convert them both to the same denominator so get both of the fractions over 6

½ = 3/6

Then 3/6 - 5/6 = - 2/6

Because you just minus the two top numbers

So the answer is -2/6
