godfromGod:-5/36 |
Re: Somebody Help Me Solve This Question by dejt4u(m): 6:09pm On Oct 26, 2017 |
first find the LCM of the denominators (denominators are 12 and 9).. the LCM of 12 and 9 is 36.. now to the simplification; 1/12 - 2/9 = ( 3 - 8 )/36 = -5/36 |
Re: Somebody Help Me Solve This Question by Nobody: 6:15pm On Oct 26, 2017 |
godfromGod: look for the lcm which is 36 3(1)-4(2)/36 Answer -5/36 Are you in JSS or SSS class if I may ask? |

godfromGod:Dead Easy. No 1, It is not straight forward to work with Fractions No 2, you need to express the fractions in common denominator. This is done by finding the LCM of 12 and 9, 12 and 9 being the denominators. To find the LCM, simply multiply the two together. 12 * 9 = 108 1/12 - 2/9 9 - 24 ____________ 108 = -15/108 (Divide thru by 3) =-5/36 1 Like |

winsomelady:Seriously... I don't know why it is just hard for me to know how maths works... And most times I forget all that I have learn on the subject... it is just not sticking to my brain. |

Are you really serious? I can tell you, it is all in the mind. You find it hard because you think it is hard. Put your mind to it and try and relate whatever you are thought with real life, and you will get a handle on it.
