1 answer

To find the difference between 3/5/6 and 5/3/4, we must first convert both fractions to a common denominator.

3/5/6 = (3*4)/(5*4) = 12/20
5/3/4 = (5*5)/(3*5) = 25/15

Now we can subtract the fractions:

12/20 - 25/15 = (12*3)/(20*3) - (25*4)/(15*4) = 36/60 - 100/60 = -64/60

Therefore, the difference between 3/5/6 and 5/3/4 is -64/60 or -16/15.
