Step by step
The question
Question: work out 3/4 − 3/4.
34 − 34
1 Take away the tops
The bottoms are the same, so the pieces are the same size.
We take away the tops.
The bottom stays 4, because the size of the pieces does not change.
= 3 − 34
3 minus 3 is 0.
= 04
2 Simplify
0/4 means 0 divided by 4.
That is 0.
= 0
So the answer is 0.
Let's look back.
First: take away the tops.
Last: simplify.
Answer
= 0
