Bot GPT 3.5 To subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator.
The denominator of 11/18 is 18, and the denominator of 1/3 is 3.
To find a common denominator, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 18 and 3, which is 18.
Now, we need to rewrite the fractions with the common denominator of 18:
11/18 = (11 * 1)/ (18 * 1) = 11/18
1/3 = (1 * 6)/(3 * 6) = 6/18
Now, we have:
11/18 - 1/3 = 11/18 - 6/18
Since the denominators are the same, we can simply subtract the numerators:
11/18 - 6/18 = (11 - 6)/18 = 5/18
So, 11/18 - 1/3 = 5/18.
