By simplifying the fraction subtraction expression becomes 59/55.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find what is the difference between two fractions by subtracting a fraction 8/11 from 9/5. For different, unequal or unlike denominators, use any one of the following methods to find the equivalent fraction for 9/5 minus 8/11.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
9/5-8/11 using LCM Method:
What is 9/5 minus 8/11 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 9/5
Fraction B: 8/11
What to be found?
9/5-8/11 = ?
Find what's the difference between 9/5 and 8/11.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 9/5 and 8/11 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction subtraction. Since the denominators of given fractions 9/5 and 8/11 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 9/5 and 8/11:
The LCM of 5 and 11 is 55.
step 4 Write the fractions 9/5 and 8/11 in the subtraction expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=9/5-8/11
=(9 x 55)/(5 x 55)-(8 x 55)/(11 x 55)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=99/55-40/55
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/55 x (99/1-40/1)
=1/55 x (99 - 40)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/55 x 59
=59/55
9/5-8/11=59/55
Hence,
9/5 minus 8/11 equals to 59/55 in fraction.
9/5-8/11 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 9/5
Fraction B: 8/11
What to be found?
9/5-8/11 = ?
Find what's the difference between 9/5 and 8/11.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (9 x 11), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (8 x 5), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (5 x 11) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (9 x 11) - (8 x 5)/(5 x 11)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (99 - 40)/55
9/5-8/11 = 59/55
Hence,
9/5 minus 8/11 = 59/55
