Question

1. $\frac{19}{5} - \frac{14}{10}$

Explanation:

Step1: Find a common denominator

The denominators are 5 and 10. The least common denominator is 10. Rewrite $\frac{19}{5}$ with denominator 10: $\frac{19\times2}{5\times2}=\frac{38}{10}$

Step2: Subtract the fractions

Now subtract $\frac{38}{10}-\frac{14}{10}=\frac{38 - 14}{10}=\frac{24}{10}$

Step3: Simplify the result

Simplify $\frac{24}{10}$ by dividing numerator and denominator by 2: $\frac{12}{5}$ or as a mixed number $2\frac{2}{5}$

Answer:

$\frac{12}{5}$ (or $2\frac{2}{5}$)
