Question

What do we get when we subtract $\frac{5}{7}$ from $\frac{13}{7}$ ?

• A. 1
• B. $\frac{6}{7}$
• C. $\frac{8}{7}$
• D. $\frac{9}{7}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\frac{8}{7}$

The fractions having same denominators are called like fractions.
Numerators are subtracted directly keeping the denominator common for like fractions.
So, $\frac{13}{7}-\frac{5}{7}=\frac{13-5}{7}=\frac{8}{7}$
