What is the difference between 5/6 and 1/4?
To find the difference between two fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 4 is 12.
5/6 = 10/12 (multiply numerator and denominator by 2)
1/4 = 3/12 (multiply numerator and denominator by 3)
Now, we can subtract:
10/12 - 3/12 = 7/12
Therefore, the difference between 5/6 and 1/4 is 7/12.
