What is -4 5/11 - 2 4/11

To subtract -4 5/11 from 2 4/11, we need to borrow from the whole number.

First, we convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:

-4 5/11 = (-4 * 11 + 5)/11 = -49/11
2 4/11 = (2 * 11 + 4)/11 = 26/11

Now, we subtract the fractions:
26/11 - 49/11 = (26 - 49)/11 = -23/11

So, -4 5/11 - 2 4/11 = -23/11.

Are you sure

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct the calculation:

To subtract -4 5/11 from 2 4/11, we first need to find a common denominator, which is 11 in this case.

Converting the mixed numbers to improper fractions:

-4 5/11 = (-4 * 11 + 5)/11 = -49/11
2 4/11 = (2 * 11 + 4)/11 = 26/11

Now, we can subtract the fractions:

26/11 - 49/11 = (26 - 49)/11 = -23/11

So, the correct answer is -23/11.

8-7 1/4

To subtract mixed numbers, we need to first convert them to improper fractions.

For -4 5/11:
Multiply the whole number, -4, by the denominator, 11:
-4 * 11 = -44

Then add the numerator, 5, and write it over the denominator:
-44 + 5 = -39
So, -4 5/11 is equivalent to -39/11.

For 2 4/11:
Multiply the whole number, 2, by the denominator, 11:
2 * 11 = 22

Then add the numerator, 4, and write it over the denominator:
22 + 4 = 26
So, 2 4/11 is equivalent to 26/11.

Now, we can subtract -39/11 from 26/11:
26/11 - (-39/11)

To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. Since both fractions already have the same denominator, we can proceed with the subtraction:
26/11 + 39/11 = 65/11

Therefore, -4 5/11 - 2 4/11 = 65/11.
