2. Cross multiplication method.
1/2-12/11 using LCM Method:
What is 1/2 minus 12/11 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/2
Fraction B: 12/11
What to be found?
1/2-12/11 = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/2 and 12/11.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/2 and 12/11 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/2 and 12/11 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions subtraction.
step 3For unlike fractions subtraction, find the LCM (least common multiple) of both denominators of fractions 1/2 and 12/11:
The LCM of 2 and 11 is 22.
step 4 Write the fractions 1/2 and 12/11 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=1/2-12/11
=(1 x 22)/(2 x 22)-(12 x 22)/(11 x 22)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=11/22-24/22
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/22 x (11/1-24/1)
=1/22 x (11 - 24)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/22 x -13
=-13/22
1/2-12/11=-13/22
Hence,
1/2 minus 12/11 equals to -13/22 in fraction.
1/2-12/11 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
