Verify

Solution Steps

Convert 9 to fraction \frac{360}{40}.

$$\frac{7}{40}-\frac{360}{40}=30$$

Since \frac{7}{40} and \frac{360}{40} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{7-360}{40}=30$$

Subtract 360 from 7 to get -353.

$$-\frac{353}{40}=30$$

Convert 30 to fraction \frac{1200}{40}.

$$-\frac{353}{40}=\frac{1200}{40}$$

Compare -\frac{353}{40} and \frac{1200}{40}.

$$\text{false}$$
