how do you do these problems??

5-26

2-2/9

8-2/3

4/3+6

But I can do these types pf problems ( don't need help with problems below)

3/4 + 1/10
and 5/6 - 1/4

Please Help!!

Thanks!!!

5-26= -21

Negative fractions and whole numbers.
If the second number is greater than the first, subtract the first from the second and add a negative sign.

ooppps i said it wrong!!!it's 5 - 2/6 sorry

!

Well then . . . You are subtracting fractions from whole numbers. You take your whole number and put it over 1. Then Find a commom denomenator between the two bottom numbers. For example, 5-2/6. 5/1-2/6. The common denomenator is 6. So inorder to get from 1 to 6, you have to multiply by 6. You do that to the top and bottom numbers. 5/1*6 is 30/6. Now you just subtract the two. 30/6-2/6= 28/6. Simplifyed is 4 and 2/3

To solve the given problems, you need to understand basic arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, and fractions. Let's go through each problem step by step:

Problem 1: 5 - 26

To subtract 26 from 5, place the larger number (26) above the smaller number (5) like this:

```
26
- 5
```

Since 5 is smaller than 26, we will need to borrow from the tens place. You can subtract 1 from the tens place and add 10 to the ones place of 5:

```
16 (carry over 10 as 1 and add to 5)
- 5
```

Now, subtract the numbers vertically column by column:

```
16
- 5
____
11
```

Therefore, 5 - 26 = 11.

Problem 2: 2 - 2/9

Subtraction with fractions involves finding a common denominator.

The first step is to convert the whole number 2 into a fraction by placing it over 1:

```
2 = 2/1
```

Now we need to find a common denominator, which is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. In this case, the denominators are 1 and 9, and the LCM is 9.

Since the denominator of the second fraction is 9, we need to convert the first fraction accordingly:

```
2/1 = 18/9 (multiply numerator and denominator by 9)
```

Now subtract the fractions:

```
18/9 - 2/9 = (18 - 2) / 9 = 16/9
```

Therefore, 2 - 2/9 = 16/9.

Problem 3: 8 - 2/3

Similar to the previous problem, we need to find a common denominator.

Convert the whole number 8 into a fraction:

```
8 = 8/1
```

The denominators are 1 and 3, and the LCM is 3.

Multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3 to get the common denominator:

```
8/1 = 24/3
```

Now subtract the fractions:

```
24/3 - 2/3 = (24 - 2) / 3 = 22/3
```

Therefore, 8 - 2/3 = 22/3.

Problem 4: 4/3 + 6

To add fractions, we need a common denominator.

The first fraction is already in the form of 4/3.

To convert 6 into a fraction, we can place it over 1:

```
6 = 6/1
```

Now we can see that the denominators are 3 and 1, and the LCM is 3.

Multiply the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by 3 to get the common denominator:

```
6/1 = 18/3
```

Now add the fractions:

```
4/3 + 18/3 = (4 + 18) / 3 = 22/3
```

Therefore, 4/3 + 6 = 22/3.

For the problems you mentioned that you can do, let's quickly go through them:

Problem 5: 3/4 + 1/10

Find a common denominator: LCM of 4 and 10 is 20.

```
3/4 + 1/10 = 15/20 + 2/20 = 17/20
```

Therefore, 3/4 + 1/10 = 17/20.

Problem 6: 5/6 - 1/4

Find a common denominator: LCM of 6 and 4 is 12.

```
5/6 - 1/4 = 10/12 - 3/12 = 7/12
```

Therefore, 5/6 - 1/4 = 7/12.

I hope this helps you understand how to solve these types of problems!
