7/3 - 9/10 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 7/3 minus 9/10 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 7/3 - 9/10 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 7/3 minus 9/10 = 43/30
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 7/3 minus 9/10 is an unlike fractions subtraction. For subtracting unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 7/3 and fraction 9/10 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 3 and 10. 30 is the LCM of 3 and 10. Multiplying the LCM 30 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (7/3 x 30/30) - (9/10 x 30/30), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 7/3 is 70/30 and for 9/10 is 27/30. By simplifying this fraction subtraction 70/30 - 27/30, it becomes 43/30.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(7/3) - (9/10) using LCM Method:
What is 7/3 minus 9/10 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 7/3
Fraction B: 9/10

What to be found?
(7/3) - (9/10) = ?
Find what's the difference between 7/3 and 9/10.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 7/3 and 9/10 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 7/3 and 9/10 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 7/3 and 9/10:
The LCM of 3 and 10 is 30.

step 4 Write the fractions 7/3 and 9/10 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 7/3 - 9/10
= [(7 x 30)/(3 x 30)] - [(9 x 30)/(10 x 30)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 70/30 - 27/30

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/30 x (70/1 - 27/1)
= 1/30 x (70 - 27)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/30 x 43
= 43/30
7/3 - 9/10 = 43/30

Hence,
7/3 minus 9/10 as a fraction is 43/30.
