Exercise 26 Page 334

To add or subtract fractions, they need to have the same denominator.

1/6

Practice makes perfect

When adding or subtracting fractions, they should have the same denominator. In this exercise, we have two fractions with different denominators. 1/3 - 1/6Since 6 is a multiple of 3, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator of 13 by 2 to create a common denominator.

1/3 - 1/6
1 * 2/3 * 2 - 1/6
2/6 - 1/6

Now that we have a common denominator, we can proceed to simplifying the expression.

2/6 - 1/6
2-1/6
1/6
