how would i solve this? ### Educational Website: Mathematics Section#### Example Problem: Subtracting Fractions**Problem Statement:**Subtract the fractions and show all work:\[ \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{4} = \]**Solution Steps:**1. **Identify the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD):** - First, list the multiples of each denominator to find the LCD. Multiples of 2: \( 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 \) Multiples of 4: \( 4, 8, 12, 16 \) - The smallest common multiple between the denominators 2 and 4 is 4. Therefore, 4 is the LCD.2. **Adjust Fractions to Have the Same Denominator:** - Convert \(\frac{1}{2}\) to a fraction with denominator 4: \[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4} \] - \(\frac{3}{4}\) already has the denominator 4, so it remains the same: \[ \frac{3}{4} \]3. **Subtract the Fractions:** - Now perform the subtraction with like denominators: \[ \frac{2}{4} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{2 - 3}{4} = \frac{-1}{4} \] Thus, the result is: \[ \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{4} = -\frac{1}{4} \]#### Work Shown:- Multiples of 2: `2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16`- Multiples of 4: `4, 8, 12, 16`- Calculation: \(\frac{2}{4} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{-1}{4} \)This detailed breakdown illustrates the process of subtracting fractions by finding a common denominator, converting both fractions, and then performing the subtraction operation.

A tortoise and hare are competing in a 400-meter race. The arrogant hare gives the tortoise a 220-meter head start. When the start gun is fired, the hare begins running at a constant speed of 3.5 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at constant speed of 1.5 meters per second.
