Did you make a mistake in your original problem?
no ma'am the problem was 16 - 1 - 2 - 5. then turned it into a fractional form, 15 4/4 - 1 2/2 - 1 2/2 - 4 3/3. which the answer would be 8? correct, or did I mess up?
To solve the expression 15 4/4 - 1 2/2 - 1 2/2 - 4 3/3, we need to simplify it step by step. Let's break it down:
Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.
15 4/4 = (15 × 4 + 4) / 4 = 64/4
1 2/2 = (1 × 2 + 2) / 2 = 4/2
1 2/2 = 4/2
4 3/3 = (4 × 3 + 3) / 3 = 15/3
Now we can rewrite the expression:
64/4 - 4/2 - 4/2 - 15/3
Step 2: Find the common denominator.
The common denominator for 4, 2, and 3 is 12.
So now our expression becomes:
(64/4) × (3/3) - (4/2) × (6/6) - (4/2) × (6/6) - (15/3) × (4/4)
Step 3: Simplify the fractions.
64/4 = 16
4/2 = 2
15/3 = 5
Now our expression is:
16 × (3/3) - 2 × (6/6) - 2 × (6/6) - 5 × (4/4)
Step 4: Further simplify.
Anything multiplied by 1 (such as 3/3 or 6/6) will remain the same.
So, the expression simplifies to:
16 - 2 - 2 - 5
Step 5: Perform the subtraction.
16 - 2 - 2 - 5 = 7
Therefore, the result of 15 4/4 - 1 2/2 - 1 2/2 - 4 3/3 is 7.
