The image you provided is an educational chart that explains how to subtract fractions. It does not contain a specific unsolved problem for me to solve, but rather demonstrates the rules with examples.
Since there is no new question to answer, I will verify the calculations shown in the chart to ensure they are correct.
Verification of "Same Denominators" Example:
1.
Problem: $\frac{5}{6} - \frac{2}{6}$
2.
Step 1 (Subtract Numerators): Keep the denominator (6) the same. Subtract the top numbers: $5 - 2 = 3$.
* Result: $\frac{3}{6}$
3.
Step 2 (Simplify): Find a number that divides evenly into both 3 and 6. That number is 3.
* $3 \div 3 = 1$
* $6 \div 3 = 2$
* Final Result: $\frac{1}{2}$
* *Check:* The chart shows $\frac{1}{2}$. This is correct.
Verification of "Different Denominators" Example:
1.
Problem: $\frac{5}{6} - \frac{7}{12}$
2.
Step 1 (Make Denominators Same): The denominators are 6 and 12. Since 12 is a multiple of 6, we can change $\frac{5}{6}$ to have a denominator of 12.
* Multiply top and bottom by 2: $\frac{5 \times 2}{6 \times 2} = \frac{10}{12}$.
* New Problem: $\frac{10}{12} - \frac{7}{12}$
3.
Step 2 (Subtract Numerators): Keep the denominator (12) the same. Subtract the top numbers: $10 - 7 = 3$.
* Result: $\frac{3}{12}$
4.
Step 3 (Simplify): Find a number that divides evenly into both 3 and 12. That number is 3.
* $3 \div 3 = 1$
* $12 \div 3 = 4$
* Final Result: $\frac{1}{4}$
* *Check:* The chart shows $\frac{1}{4}$. This is correct.
Both examples in the image are solved correctly.
Final Answer:
The calculations in the image are correct.
For same denominators: $\frac{5}{6} - \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$
For different denominators: $\frac{5}{6} - \frac{7}{12} = \frac{1}{4}$
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of subtracting fractions with different denominators.
