Question

$$(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{5}{18})=36$$

Verify

$\text{false}$

Solution Steps

Least common multiple of $4$ and $18$ is $36$. Convert $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{5}{18}$ to fractions with denominator $36$.

$$\frac{9}{36}-\frac{10}{36}=36$$

Since $\frac{9}{36}$ and $\frac{10}{36}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{9-10}{36}=36$$

Subtract $10$ from $9$ to get $-1$.

$$-\frac{1}{36}=36$$

Convert $36$ to fraction $\frac{1296}{36}$.

$$-\frac{1}{36}=\frac{1296}{36}$$

Compare $-\frac{1}{36}$ and $\frac{1296}{36}$.

$$\text{false}$$
