Chapter 1: Problem 27

Perform the indicated subtraction. $$\frac{3}{7}-\frac{5}{7}$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The result of the operation \(\frac{3}{7}-\frac{5}{7}\) is \(-\frac{2}{7}\).

Step by step solution

01

Observe the denominators

The fractions \(\frac{3}{7}\) and \(\frac{5}{7}\) have the same denominator (which is 7). Therefore, when subtracting these two fractions, the denominator will remain the same.
02

Subtract the numerators

Now, subtract the numerators of the two fractions, that is, subtract 5 from 3. Perform the operation \(3 - 5 = -2\).
03

Form the result

Using the result of the subtraction and the common denominator, form the resulting fraction which is \(-\frac{2}{7}\).
