Answer:
4 5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
19/4 - 1/3 = ?
The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.
LCD(19/4, 1/3) = 12
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal to the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.
(19/4 × 3/3)− (1/3 × 4/4)=?
Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes
57/12−4/12=?
The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.
Then:
57−4/12= 53/12
This fraction cannot be reduced.
