To perform the calculation ( |2/4/15| - |1/14/25| ), we'll first interpret the expressions, as they could represent various formats depending on the context (e.g., dates, fractions, etc.). However, since there is a "|" symbol involved, let's treat these as absolute values (though they appear to represent dates).
Assuming they are fractions, we'll first convert them into a common format.
If the expression is meant to mean:
- ( \frac{2}{4} ) interpreted as a fraction simplifies to ( \frac{1}{2} ).
- ( \frac{1}{14} ) is already in its simplest form.
So now we calculate:
[
\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{14}
]
To subtract these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) of 2 and 14 is 14.
Now, convert ( \frac{1}{2} ) to have a denominator of 14:
[
\frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{14}
]
Now we can perform the subtraction:
[
\frac{7}{14} - \frac{1}{14} = \frac{7 - 1}{14} = \frac{6}{14}
]
Finally, simplify ( \frac{6}{14} ):
[
\frac{6}{14} = \frac{3}{7}
]
Thus, the result is:
[
\frac{3}{7}
]
If you meant something different by the symbols or if there was a specific context (e.g., dates), please clarify!
