Chapter 2: Problem 62

Find the difference. $$\frac{4}{5}-\frac{2}{5}$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The difference is \(\frac{2}{5}\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify the Like Denominators

Observe that the denominators of both fractions are the same, which is 5.
02

Subtract the Numerators

Since the denominators are the same, keep the denominator as is and subtract the numerators. The operation becomes \(4 - 2 = 2\).
03

Write Down the Result

The difference between the two fractions is the resultant fraction, which is \(\frac{2}{5}\).
