Solve 7/18-12/12=3/2

$$\frac { 7 } { 18 } - \frac { 12 } { 12 } = \frac { 3 } { 2 }$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Divide 12 by 12 to get 1.

$$\frac{7}{18}-1=\frac{3}{2}$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{18}{18}.

$$\frac{7}{18}-\frac{18}{18}=\frac{3}{2}$$

Since \frac{7}{18} and \frac{18}{18} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{7-18}{18}=\frac{3}{2}$$

Subtract 18 from 7 to get -11.

$$-\frac{11}{18}=\frac{3}{2}$$

Least common multiple of 18 and 2 is 18. Convert -\frac{11}{18} and \frac{3}{2} to fractions with denominator 18.

$$-\frac{11}{18}=\frac{27}{18}$$

Compare -\frac{11}{18} and \frac{27}{18}.

$$\text{false}$$
