Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract: 4 - 1/
4
For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(1, 4) = 4. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 1 × 4 = 4. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.
In other words - four minus one quarter = fifteen quarters.
