I seriously need one more and I'm done :D
38/5 - 3 and 1/2
well i mean subtracting*
I've shown you how to do a couple of these problems. Now it's your turn.
I'll be glad to check your answer.
76/10 - 3 5/10
71/10 would be 7 1/10 + 3
= 10 1/10
76/10 - 35/10 = 41/10 = 4 1/10
To solve the expression, 38/5 - 3 and 1/2, we need to convert it into a single fraction.
First, let's convert the mixed number, 3 and 1/2, into an improper fraction.
To do that, multiply the whole number (3) by the denominator (2), then add the numerator (1). This gives us 3 * 2 + 1 = 7.
So, 3 and 1/2 can be written as 7/2.
Now, let's subtract this fraction from 38/5.
To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. Since the denominators are 5 and 2, the common denominator is 10.
Now, let's rewrite 38/5 with the common denominator of 10. Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 38/5 by 2 to get 76/10.
So, we have 76/10 - 7/2.
To subtract fractions, we need to have the same denominator. Since both fractions already have the same denominator of 10, we can directly subtract the numerators.
76/10 - 7/2 = (76 - 35)/10 = 41/10.
Therefore, the answer is 41/10.
