answer:
Contd.
Explanation:
We will use the following well-known
Result : The eqn. of a line l passing through the pt. of
intersection of the lines l1:a1+b1+c1=0andl2:a2x+b2y+c2=0 is of
the form
Result :
Isabel lives 1/12 mile farther than Janet from the school.
Given that, Isabel lives 3/4 mile from school, and Janet lives 2/3 mile from the school.
We need to find how much farther in miles does Isabel live from school than Janet.
Addition and subtraction of unlike fractions:
Step I: Obtain the fractions and their denominators.
Step II: Find the LCM (least common multiple) of the denominators.
Step III: Convert each fraction into an equivalent fraction having its denominatorequal to the LCM (least common multiple) obtained in Step II.
Now, 3/4-2/3=9/12-8/12
=1/12
Therefore, Isabel lives 1/12 mile farther than Janet from the school.
