Question

How do you solve `8/12 - C = 3/24`?

Answer 1

`C = 13/24`

Explanation:

`8/12 - C = 3/24`

`color(red)(cancel(color(black)(8/12) - 8/12)) - C = 3/24 - 8/12`

`- C = 3/24 - 8/12`

`- C = 3/24 - 16/24`

`color(red)(cancel(color(black)(-))) C = color(red)(cancel(color(black)(-))) 13/24`

`C = 13/24`
