Question

subtract: \\(\frac{9}{14} - \frac{3}{7}\\) \\(\bigcirc\\) \\(\frac{3}{14}\\) \\(\bigcirc\\) \\(\frac{6}{7}\\) \\(\bigcirc\\) \\(\frac{3}{7}\\) \\(\bigcirc\\) \\(\frac{1}{14}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Find a common denominator

The denominators are 14 and 7. The least common denominator is 14. Rewrite \(\frac{3}{7}\) with denominator 14: \(\frac{3}{7}=\frac{3\times2}{7\times2}=\frac{6}{14}\)

Step2: Subtract the fractions

\(\frac{9}{14}-\frac{6}{14}=\frac{9 - 6}{14}=\frac{3}{14}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{3}{14}\) (corresponding to the first option: \(\boldsymbol{\frac{3}{14}}\))
