question #6 of 10
what is the result of 6/7 - 2/7?
options: 3/7, 5/7, 4/7, 6/7

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the operation

We are subtracting two fractions with the same denominator. The rule for subtracting fractions with the same denominator is to subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. So for $\frac{6}{7} - \frac{2}{7}$, we subtract the numerators 6 and 2.

Step2: Perform the subtraction of numerators

The numerator of the first fraction is 6, and the numerator of the second fraction is 2. So we calculate $6 - 2 = 4$. The denominator remains 7. So the result is $\frac{4}{7}$.

Answer:

4/7 (corresponding to the option with "4/7" text, assuming the purple - colored option with "4/7" is the correct one among the given choices)
