2. Cross multiplication method.
1/9-2/6 using LCM Method:
What is 1/9 minus 2/6 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/9
Fraction B: 2/6
What to be found?
1/9-2/6 = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/9 and 2/6.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/9 and 2/6 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/9 and 2/6 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 2/6:
The LCM of 9 and 6 is 18.
step 4 Write the fractions 1/9 and 2/6 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=1/9-2/6
=(1 x 18)/(9 x 18)-(2 x 18)/(6 x 18)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=2/18-6/18
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/18 x (2/1-6/1)
=1/18 x (2 - 6)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/18 x -4
= -4/18
=-2/9
1/9-2/6=-2/9
Hence,
1/9 minus 2/6 equals to -2/9 in fraction.
1/9-2/6 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/9
Fraction B: 2/6
What to be found?
1/9-2/6 = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/9 and 2/6.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (1 x 6), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (2 x 9), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (9 x 6) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (1 x 6) - (2 x 9)/(9 x 6)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (6 - 18)/54
= -12/54
= -2/9
1/9-2/6 = -2/9
Hence,
1/9 minus 2/6 = -2/9
