14 1/6 - 10 11/24First of all, take LCM on the denominators after making both the fractions simple.

85/6 - 251/24

Now, taking LCM of denominators i.e., 6 and 24,

we have 24 as the LCM,

Now, make both the denominators 24.

85*4/6*4 - 251*1/24*1

[Remember, whatever you multiply in the denominator, with the same number you have to multiply the … Read more

We are given that 3/4 = 120                      ...(1)

Now let 4/4 = x                  ...(2)

Dividing equation 1 by equation 2,

(3/4) / (4/4) = (120) / x

Now doing a cross multiplication, we get,

3/4 *x = 120 *(4/4)

So, 3x/4 = 120

If the given system of equation is

5x+2y = 8                ...(1)

x+y = 4                    ...(2)

Then you can follow the following steps for the solution:

Step 1: Subtracting twice of equation 2 from equation 1

5x + 2y = 8

-2x -2y = -8

3x + … Read more

Yes, 4/5 is less than 5/6. You can use the following method to check that:

First find the LCM of denominators of both the fractions. Here, you can see that the LCM is 30.

So, 4*6/5*6 and 5*5/6*5 which makes the fractions to be 24/30 and 25/30 respectively.

Now you can simply compare their numerators. You can … Read more
