Perform the indicated operation. Where possible, reduce the answer to its lowest terms. $$\frac{16}{7}-\frac{2}{7}$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
\(\frac{14}{7} = 2 \)

Step by step solution

01

Identify the Like Fractions

The given fractions are like fractions because they have the same denominator, which is 7.
02

Subtraction of the Fractions

Since they are like fractions, keep the denominator the same and subtract the numerators. \[\frac{16}{7}-\frac{2}{7}= \frac{16-2}{7}\]
03

Calculation & Simplify

Perform the subtraction in the numerator to get the result and it automatically becomes the simplest form. \[\frac{16-2}{7} = \frac{14}{7}\]
