Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Skills needed: Fraction Subtraction, Least Common Denominator (LCD)
1)
is the operation you would do.
–> You would do this because, Carlotta has
of the paper left, and does one fraction amount (
) on Saturday & does another fraction amount (
) on Sunday.
–> Using subtraction is the best way
2) Now, we need to figure out the Least Common Denominator for all 3 fractions.
8,6,4 are the denominators.
The lowest number that is a factor of all them is 24.
So, it would then become![Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com \frac{18}{24} - \frac{8}{24} - \frac{6}{24}](https://documen.tv/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-18b77514fcf33a9357de6dc413fa81b0_l3.png)
This would become:
(18-8-6 = 4)
So then:
is your answer.
This simplifies into
.
Hope this helps and have a nice day!! 🙂 :]
