[tex]$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Solution:
Given expression:
[tex]$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
To solve this expression:
[tex]$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
If you subtract the fractions, then the denominator of the terms must be same.
Let us convert the denominators as same.
LCM of 2 and 4 = 4
So, make the denominators as 4.
Now, multiply the 1st term by [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex], we get
[tex]$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{4}[/tex]
2nd term have already denominator 4.
[tex]$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{2}{4}-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{2-1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
