Question

$$\frac{2}{4}-4=16$$

Verify

$\text{false}$

Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction $\frac{2}{4}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$\frac{1}{2}-4=16$$

Convert $4$ to fraction $\frac{8}{2}$.

$$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{8}{2}=16$$

Since $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{8}{2}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{1-8}{2}=16$$

Subtract $8$ from $1$ to get $-7$.

$$-\frac{7}{2}=16$$

Convert $16$ to fraction $\frac{32}{2}$.

$$-\frac{7}{2}=\frac{32}{2}$$

Compare $-\frac{7}{2}$ and $\frac{32}{2}$.

$$\text{false}$$
