Q. 44. Find the DIFFERENCE. (Get a common denominator)\newline14238910 ?  14 \frac{2}{3}-8 \frac{9}{10} \text { ? }
  1. Find Common Denominator: First, let's find a common denominator for the fractions 23\frac{2}{3} and 910\frac{9}{10}.\newlineThe common denominator for 33 and 1010 is 3030.
  2. Convert 23\frac{2}{3} to 3030: Now, convert 23\frac{2}{3} to a fraction with a denominator of 3030.23=(2×10)(3×10)=2030\frac{2}{3} = \frac{(2\times10)}{(3\times10)} = \frac{20}{30}.
  3. Convert 910\frac{9}{10} to 3030: Next, convert 910\frac{9}{10} to a fraction with a denominator of 3030.910=(9×3)(10×3)=2730\frac{9}{10} = \frac{(9\times3)}{(10\times3)} = \frac{27}{30}.
  4. Subtract Fractions: Now we can subtract the two fractions. 20302730=(2027)30=730.\frac{20}{30} - \frac{27}{30} = \frac{(20 - 27)}{30} = -\frac{7}{30}.
  5. Correct Multiplication Mistake: But wait, we made a mistake in the multiplication. Let's correct it. 14×(23)14 \times \left(\frac{2}{3}\right) should be (14×2)/3\left(14\times2\right)/3 and 8×(910)8 \times \left(\frac{9}{10}\right) should be (8×9)/10\left(8\times9\right)/10.
