Questions: 11/20 - 4/60 = ?

Solution Steps

To solve the given problem, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions, convert each fraction to have this common denominator, and then perform the subtraction.

We start with the fractions \( \frac{11}{20} \) and \( \frac{4}{60} \). To perform the subtraction, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 20 and 60 is 60.

We convert \( \frac{11}{20} \) to have a denominator of 60: \[ \frac{11}{20} = \frac{11 \times 3}{20 \times 3} = \frac{33}{60} \] The second fraction \( \frac{4}{60} \) remains the same.

Now we can subtract the two fractions: \[ \frac{33}{60} - \frac{4}{60} = \frac{33 - 4}{60} = \frac{29}{60} \]
