2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/9) - (2/54) using LCM Method:
What is 1/9 minus 2/54 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/9
Fraction B: 2/54

What to be found?
(1/9) - (2/54) = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/9 and 2/54.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/9 and 2/54 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/9 and 2/54 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 1/9 and 2/54:
The LCM of 9 and 54 is 54.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/9 and 2/54 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/9 - 2/54
= [(1 x 54)/(9 x 54)] - [(2 x 54)/(54 x 54)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 6/54 - 2/54

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/54 x (6/1 - 2/1)
= 1/54 x (6 - 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/54 x 4
= 4/54
= 2/27
1/9 - 2/54 = 2/27

Hence,
1/9 minus 2/54 as a fraction is 2/27.
