1/9-3/5 using LCM Method:
What is 1/9 minus 3/5 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/9
Fraction B: 3/5
What to be found?
1/9-3/5 = ?
Find what's the difference between 1/9 and 3/5.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/9 and 3/5 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/9 and 3/5 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 3/5:
The LCM of 9 and 5 is 45.
step 4 Write the fractions 1/9 and 3/5 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=1/9-3/5
=(1 x 45)/(9 x 45)-(3 x 45)/(5 x 45)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=5/45-27/45
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/45 x (5/1-27/1)
=1/45 x (5 - 27)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/45 x -22
=-22/45
1/9-3/5=-22/45
Hence,
1/9 minus 3/5 equals to -22/45 in fraction.
