2 3/4 - 6 3/5y I thought y= 5/11 but no?
is that minus sign or equal sign?
if equal sign, no it's not 5/11. alright,, convert first 2 3/4 into improper fraction,,
let me see your work. :)
33/5 y = 12/4 right?
33/5 is right,, 12/4 is not. check it again,,
11/4
so the answer is 5/12?
yes! that's right! :)
To solve the equation 2 3/4 - 6 3/5y, let's start by converting the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
2 3/4 can be written as (2*4 + 3)/4 = 11/4.
6 3/5 can be written as (6*5 + 3)/5 = 33/5.
Now we have the equation: 11/4 - 33/5y.
To solve for y, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. Let's start by multiplying every term by the common denominator of 4 and 5, which is 20.
(11/4)*20 - (33/5)*20y = 0.
Simplifying, we get:
55 - 132y = 0.
To solve for y, we can now isolate the variable by moving the constant term to the other side:
-132y = -55.
Dividing both sides of the equation by -132, we find:
y = -55 / -132.
Simplifying further:
y = 55 / 132.
Therefore, y is equal to 55/132, which cannot be simplified further. Thus, y is not equal to 5/11, but rather 55/132.
