Question

$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{8}$ in simplest form?

Answer 1

Finding the simplest form of the equation $\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{8}$:

Given expression,

$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{8}$

Multiplying $\frac{2}{2}$ for $\frac{3}{4}$ to make a equal denominators, it's equal to one, so it doesn't change the value of the fraction, but it makes the denominator larger.

Since,

$$\begin{gathered} \left(\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{2}{2}\right)-\left(\frac{3}{8}\right)=\frac{6}{8}-\frac{3}{8} \\ =\frac{6-3}{8} \\ =\frac{3}{8} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the simplest form of $\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{8}$ is $\frac{3}{8}$.
