3/10 - 2/7 =

1 answer

To subtract the fractions \( \frac{3}{10} - \frac{2}{7} \), we first need a common denominator.

The least common multiple (LCM) of 10 and 7 is 70.

Next, we convert each fraction to have a denominator of 70:

\[ \frac{3}{10} = \frac{3 \times 7}{10 \times 7} = \frac{21}{70} \]

\[ \frac{2}{7} = \frac{2 \times 10}{7 \times 10} = \frac{20}{70} \]

Now we can subtract the two fractions:

\[ \frac{21}{70} - \frac{20}{70} = \frac{21 - 20}{70} = \frac{1}{70} \]

So, \( \frac{3}{10} - \frac{2}{7} = \frac{1}{70} \).
