1 1/2-2 1/3
To subtract mixed numbers, you can convert them into improper fractions and then subtract.
1 1/2 can be written as 3/2.
2 1/3 can be written as 7/3.
Now, subtract 7/3 from 3/2:
3/2 - 7/3
To find the common denominator, we multiply the denominators together:
2 * 3 = 6.
Now adjust the fractions to have the same denominator:
(3/2) * (3/3) = 9/6
(7/3) * (2/2) = 14/6
Now, subtract the fractions:
9/6 - 14/6 = -5/6.
Therefore, 1 1/2 - 2 1/3 is equal to -5/6.
1 1/2+2 1/3
To add mixed numbers, you can convert them into improper fractions and then add.
1 1/2 can be written as 3/2.
2 1/3 can be written as 7/3.
Now, add 3/2 and 7/3:
3/2 + 7/3
To find the common denominator, we multiply the denominators together:
2 * 3 = 6.
Now adjust the fractions to have the same denominator:
(3/2) * (3/3) = 9/6
(7/3) * (2/2) = 14/6
Now, add the fractions:
9/6 + 14/6 = 23/6.
Therefore, 1 1/2 + 2 1/3 is equal to 23/6.
simplify
To simplify the fraction 23/6, you can divide the numerator by the denominator as much as possible.
23 divided by 6 is 3, with a remainder of 5.
So, 23/6 can be simplified to 3 5/6.
-1 1/2+ (-2 1/3)
To add the negative mixed numbers -1 1/2 and -2 1/3, we can convert them into improper fractions and then add.
-1 1/2 can be written as -3/2.
-2 1/3 can be written as -7/3.
Now, add -3/2 and -7/3:
-3/2 + (-7/3)
To find the common denominator, we multiply the denominators together:
2 * 3 = 6.
Now adjust the fractions to have the same denominator:
(-3/2) * (3/3) = -9/6
(-7/3) * (2/2) = -14/6
Now, add the fractions:
-9/6 + (-14/6) = -23/6.
Therefore, -1 1/2 + (-2 1/3) is equal to -23/6.
simplify..
To simplify -23/6, you can reduce the fraction to its simplest form.
The greatest common divisor of 23 and 6 is 1, so we cannot simplify the fraction any further.
Therefore, -23/6 is already in its simplest form.
To subtract 1 1/2 (also written as 3/2) from 2 1/3 (also written as 7/3), we need to find a common denominator for the two fractions. The common denominator is usually found by multiplying the denominators together. In this case, the denominators are 2 and 3, so the common denominator is 2 x 3 = 6.
Once we have found the common denominator, we convert both fractions into equivalent fractions with that denominator. For 1 1/2, we multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (2), which gives us 2, and then add the numerator (1), bringing us to a total of 3/2. For 2 1/3, we multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (3), which gives us 6, and then add the numerator (1), giving us a total of 7/3.
Now that both fractions have a common denominator of 6, we can subtract them. Subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. 7/3 - 3/2 is calculated as:
(7 x 2) - (3 x 3) / (3 x 2) = 14/6 - 9/6 = 5/6.
So, 1 1/2 - 2 1/3 is equal to 5/6.
