Find the difference: [3(3/10)] – [1(7/15)]

1.	Find the difference: [3(3/10)] – [1(7/15)]
Answer» [ 3(3/10)] – [1(7/15)] Convert mixed fraction into improper fraction, and then find the difference. = [3(3/10)] = (33/10) = [1(7/15)] = (22/15) We get, = (33/10) – (22/15) LCM of 10, 15 = 30 Now, let us change each of the given fraction into an equivalent fraction having 10 as the denominator. = [(33/10) × (3/3)] = (99/30) = [(22/15) × (2/2)] = (44/30) Then, = (99/30) – (44/30) = (99 -44)/30 = (55/30) = (11/6) = [1(5/6)]

[ 3(3/10)] – [1(7/15)]

Convert mixed fraction into improper fraction, and then find the difference.

= [3(3/10)] = (33/10)

= [1(7/15)] = (22/15)

We get,

= (33/10) – (22/15)

LCM of 10, 15 = 30

Now, let us change each of the given fraction into an equivalent fraction having 10 as the denominator.

= [(33/10) × (3/3)] = (99/30)

= [(22/15) × (2/2)] = (44/30)

Then,

= (99/30) – (44/30)

= (99 -44)/30

= (55/30)

= (11/6)

= [1(5/6)]
