What is 6/10 minus 3/5 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 6/10
Fraction B: 3/5
What to be found?
6/10-3/5 = ?
Find what's the difference between 6/10 and 3/5.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 6/10 and 3/5 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 6/10 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 6/10 and 3/5:
The LCM of 10 and 5 is 10.
step 4 Write the fractions 6/10 and 3/5 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=6/10-3/5
=(6 x 10)/(10 x 10)-(3 x 10)/(5 x 10)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=6/10-6/10
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/10 x (6/1-6/1)
=1/10 x (6 - 6)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/10 x 0
= 0/10
=0
6/10-3/5=0
Hence,
6/10 minus 3/5 equals to 0 in fraction.

Input:
Fraction A: 6/10
Fraction B: 3/5
What to be found?
6/10-3/5 = ?
Find what's the difference between 6/10 and 3/5.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (6 x 5), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (3 x 10), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (10 x 5) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (6 x 5) - (3 x 10)/(10 x 5)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (30 - 30)/50
= 0/50
= 0
