Find the positive difference between 1(3/4) of 1(1/14) and 1/2

1 answer

To find the positive difference between 1(3/4) of 1(1/14) and 1/2, we first need to calculate both values.

1(3/4) of 1(1/14) is equal to (4/4)(3/4)(14/14) = 12/56 = 3/14.

Now, we need to calculate the difference between 3/14 and 1/2 by subtracting 1/2 from 3/14:

3/14 - 1/2 = 6/28 - 14/28 = -8/28 = -2/7.

Since we only want the positive difference between these two values, we can take the absolute value of -2/7, which is 2/7.

Therefore, the positive difference between 1(3/4) of 1(1/14) and 1/2 is 2/7.
