Question

$$\frac{-3}{4}-\frac{-19}{12}$$

Evaluate

$\frac{5}{6}\approx 0.833333333$

Solution Steps

Fraction $\frac{-3}{4}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{3}{4}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{3}{4}-\frac{-19}{12}$$

Fraction $\frac{-19}{12}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{19}{12}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{3}{4}-\left(-\frac{19}{12}\right)$$

The opposite of $-\frac{19}{12}$ is $\frac{19}{12}$.

$$-\frac{3}{4}+\frac{19}{12}$$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $12$ is $12$. Convert $-\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{19}{12}$ to fractions with denominator $12$.

$$-\frac{9}{12}+\frac{19}{12}$$

Since $-\frac{9}{12}$ and $\frac{19}{12}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-9+19}{12}$$

Add $-9$ and $19$ to get $10$.

$$\frac{10}{12}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{10}{12}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$\frac{5}{6}$$

Factor

$\frac{5}{2 \cdot 3} = 0.8333333333333334$
