Question

$$3/7-1/2$$

$-\frac{1}{14}\approx -0.071428571$

Least common multiple of $7$ and $2$ is $14$. Convert $\frac{3}{7}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ to fractions with denominator $14$.

$$\frac{6}{14}-\frac{7}{14}$$

Since $\frac{6}{14}$ and $\frac{7}{14}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{6-7}{14}$$

Subtract $7$ from $6$ to get $-1$.

$$-\frac{1}{14}$$

$-\frac{1}{14} = -0.07142857142857142$
