Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Subtract \$8 6/40 - 6 4/30\$.

2

Step

Given Fraction.

\$8 6/40 - 6 4/30\$

3

Step

We change the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

\$326/40 - 184/30\$

4

Step

We need to reduce the fraction

\$163/20 - 92/15\$

5

Step

Now, take the LCM of the denominators.

LCM of 20,15 is 60

6

Step

Multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by a number so that they have the LCM as their new denominator.

\$((163\times3)-(92\times4))/60\$

7

Step

Subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same.

\$(489 - 368)/60\$

8

Step

After subtracting we get.

\$121/60\$

9

Step

Divide the numerator with the denominator.

\$180\div60\$

10

Step

You will get values of the quotient(q) and remainder(r).

q= 2 r =1

11

Step

\$"Mixed fraction"\$ = \$"Whole number" + "Numerator"/"Denominator"\$

\$ 2 1/60\$
