+1009 Johnetta simplified 7/9-3/8 ; her work is shown below. Identify where she made her error.
Original division problem 7/9-3/8:
Step 1: 7/9*3/8
Step 2: \(\frac{7 * 3}{9 * 8}\)
Step 3: 21/72
Step 4: 7/24
oPTIONS bELOW
Step 1 think it is
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
I belive its Step 4 that has a erorr Just wanted to clarify Im like 50%/50% ON THIS
+1713 I feel like step one is wrong.
The problem was,
\(\frac{7}{9}-\frac{3}{8} \)
and step one multiplys them, which is incorrect.
The step reads the problem wrong.
Step 4 is correct however.
21/72 simplifys to
7/24.
+1009 Thats true! Thanks
Now a question real quick for you so Step 1 is
7/9 . 3/8 do you think that means Multiplacation before I take your answer I think the dot Means Multiplucation Thanks!
(: 
+1713 usally dots in math mean multiplying
sometimes decimals, but I dont think here.
+1009 So actually Hectictar just asked me im sure for 7/9-3/8 is the question I looked and it wasint so thanks (THANKS HECTICTAR FOR REMINDING ME) so 7/9 Divided by 3/8 so you think its still 1
+1713 Yes, because when you divide, you flip the fraction.
You need to flip the fraction in step one, which it doesn't.
