Step-by-step explanation: hope this helps

(Don't know what the number line looks like)

Convert both to decimals, then subtract

Answer:

[tex]\frac{-11}{20}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to find the difference of fraction using number line

Given fractions [tex]\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

First we make their denominator same,

Multiply numerator and denominator of [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] by 4 and Multiply numerator and denominator of [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] by 5

[tex]\frac{4}{4}\times \frac{1}{5}[/tex] and  [tex]\frac{5}{5}\times \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{20}[/tex] and  [tex]\frac{15}{20}[/tex]

Now, denominator are same so we can subtract easily

[tex]=\frac{4}{20}-\frac{15}{20}[/tex]

take L.C.M 20 of above expression,

[tex]=\frac{4-15}{20}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{-11}{20}[/tex]

we can see this in figure-1

It can easily observe from figure that, there is 11 units difference between 4 and 15
