Question

what is the difference of 9/5-1/6

Answer 1

9/5 = 54/30

1/6 = 5/30

54/30 - 5/30 = 49/30 = 1 19/30

Answer 2

Answer:

The difference is as follows:

  $\dfrac{9}{5}-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{49}{30}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two fractions and we are asked to find there difference.

The expression is as follows:

   $\dfrac{9}{5}-\dfrac{1}{6}$

( since, the denominator of two fractions is different hence we take the least common multiple of the denominators.

i.e. lcm{5,6}=30 )

Now, we proceed as follows:

   $\dfrac{9}{5}-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{9\times 6-1\times 5}{30}$

i.e.

   $\dfrac{9}{5}-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{54-5}{30}$

i.e.

   $\dfrac{9}{5}-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{49}{30}$
