Method 1
We calculate the numerator and denominator first
\displaystyle \begin{align}
\frac{3}{10}-\frac{1}{5} &= \frac{3}{10}-\frac{1\cdot 2}{5\cdot 2} = \frac{3-2}{10} = \frac{1}{10}\,,\\[10pt] \frac{7}{8}-\frac{3}{16} &= \frac{7\cdot 2}{8\cdot 2}-\frac{3}{16} = \frac{14-3}{16} = \frac{11}{16}\,\textrm{.} \end{align} |
Thus, the expression becomes
\displaystyle \frac{\,\dfrac{3}{10}-\dfrac{1}{5}\vphantom{\Biggl(}\,}{\,\dfrac{7}{8}-\dfrac{3}{16}\vphantom{\Biggl(}\,} = \frac{\,\dfrac{1}{10}\vphantom{\Biggl(}\,}{\,\dfrac{11}{16}\vphantom{\Biggl(}\,} = \frac{\,\dfrac{1}{10}\cdot \dfrac{16}{11}\vphantom{\Biggl(}\,}{\,\dfrac{\rlap{\,/}11}{\rlap{\,/}16}\cdot \dfrac{\rlap{\,/}16}{\rlap{\,/}11}\vphantom{\Biggl(}\,} = \dfrac{16}{10\cdot 11} |
and because \displaystyle 16=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2 and \displaystyle 10=2\cdot 5, the simplified answer is
\displaystyle \frac{16}{10\cdot 11} = \frac{\rlap{/}2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2}{\rlap{/}2\cdot 5\cdot 11} = \frac{8}{55}\,. |
Method 2
If we look at the individual fractions 3/10, 1/5, 7/8 and 3/16, we see that the denominators can be factorized as
\displaystyle 10=2\cdot 5\,,\quad 8=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\,\quad\text{and}\quad
16=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2 |
and therefore 2∙2∙2∙2∙5 = 80 is the fractions' lowest common denominator.
If we multiply the top and bottom of the main fraction by 80, then it will be possible to eliminate all denominators at once,
\displaystyle \begin{align}
\frac{\,\dfrac{3}{10}-\dfrac{1}{5}\vphantom{\Biggl(}\,}{\,\dfrac{7}{8}-\dfrac{3}{16}\vphantom{\Biggl(}\,} &= \frac{\,\left( \dfrac{3}{10}-\dfrac{1}{5} \right)\cdot 80\vphantom{\Biggl(}\,}{\,\left( \dfrac{7}{8}-\dfrac{3}{16} \right)\cdot 80\vphantom{\Biggl(}\,} = \frac{\dfrac{3\cdot 80}{10}-\dfrac{1\cdot 80}{5}\vphantom{\Biggl(}\,}{\,\dfrac{7\cdot 80}{8}-\dfrac{3\cdot 80}{16}\vphantom{\Biggl(}\,}\\[10pt] &= \frac{\,\dfrac{3\cdot 8\cdot{}\rlap{\,/}10}{\rlap{\,/}10}-\dfrac{8\cdot 2\cdot{}\rlap{/}5}{\rlap{/}5}\vphantom{\Biggl(}\,}{\,\dfrac{7\cdot{}\rlap{/}8\cdot 10}{\rlap{/}8}-\dfrac{3\cdot{}\rlap{\,/}16\cdot 5}{\rlap{\,/}16}\vphantom{\Biggl(}\,} = \dfrac{3\cdot 8-8\cdot 2}{7\cdot 10-3\cdot } = \frac{8}{55}\,\textrm{.} \end{align} |
