Chapter 1: Problem 30

Perform the indicated subtraction. $$\frac{1}{7}-\left(-\frac{3}{7}\right)$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The result of the subtraction is \(\frac{4}{7}\).

Step by step solution

01

Rewrite and Simplify

Rewrite \(\frac{1}{7} - (-\frac{3}{7})\) as \(\frac{1}{7} + \frac{3}{7}\). This is because subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding its absolute value. It simplifies the calculation.
02

Add the Fractions

Now, add the fractions. When adding fractions, if the denominators are the same, you just add the numerators. Here the denominators are the same (7), so add the numerators 1 + 3.
03

Simplify the Result

The sum of the numerators is 4, so the result is \(\frac{4}{7}\).
