Question

Subtract the first rational number from the second in each of the following:​
(viii)$\frac{-8}{33},\frac{-7}{22}$

Answer 1

To subtract $\frac{-8}{33}$ from $\frac{-7}{22}$

$\therefore \frac{-7}{22}-\left(\frac{-8}{33}\right)=\frac{-7}{22}+\frac{8}{33}$
$=\frac{-7\times 3}{22\times 3}+\frac{8\times 2}{33\times 2}$
$=\frac{-21}{66}+\frac{16}{66}$
$=\frac{-5}{66}$

Hence, the required result is $\frac{-5}{66}$
