Answer:
[tex]\frac{13}{28}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on how you're phrasing the question, you're asking for the value of [tex]\frac{5}{7}-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
First, figure out the smallest common denominator of 4 and 7.
This would be 28[tex](\frac{5}{7}*\frac{28}{28})-(\frac{1}{4}*\frac{28}{28})\\\\(\frac{5*4}{28})-(\frac{1*7}{28})\\\\\frac{20}{28} -\frac{7}{28} \\\\\frac{20-7}{28} \\\\\frac{13}{28} \\[/tex]. Therefore, multiply each fraction by [tex]\frac{14}{14}[/tex]
Answer: thirteen over twenty eight
Step-by-step explanation:
The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(7, 4) = 28. The fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.
In words - five sevenths minus one quarter = thirteen twenty-eighths.
