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.
5-26 = -21
2-2/9 = 1 7/9
8-2/3 = 7 1/3
4/3+6 = 7 1/3

To solve these problems, you need to understand how to perform basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, and division. I will explain how to solve each problem step by step.
1. 5 - 26:
To subtract these two numbers, start with the larger number (26) and subtract the smaller number (5) from it. So, 26 - 5 = 21.
2. 2 - 2/9:
To subtract a whole number from a fraction, you need to convert the whole number into a fraction with the same denominator as the fraction. In this case, the fraction has a denominator of 9, so the whole number 2 can be written as 18/9. Now, subtract the fraction from the converted whole number: 18/9 - 2/9 = 16/9.
3. 8 - 2/3:
Similar to the previous problem, we need to convert the whole number 8 to a fraction with the denominator of 3. So, 8 can be written as 24/3. Now subtract the fraction from the converted whole number: 24/3 - 2/3 = 22/3.
4. 4/3 + 6:
To add a whole number to a fraction, you can keep the whole number as is and add it to the numerator of the fraction. For this problem, add the numerator of the fraction (4) to the whole number (6). So, 4/3 + 6 = 6 + 4/3. This can also be written as 18/3 + 4/3 = 22/3.
For the problems you mentioned that you can do:
1. 3/4 + 1/10:
To add fractions, you need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 4 and 10 is 20. Now, convert both fractions to have a denominator of 20: 15/20 + 2/20 = 17/20.
2. 5/6 - 1/4:
Again, find a common denominator for these fractions. The least common multiple of 6 and 4 is 12. Convert both fractions to have a denominator of 12: 10/12 - 3/12 = 7/12.
Remember to simplify the fractions if possible.
