68/5 - 25/4
=(272 - 125)/20
= 147/20
= 7 7/20
1/6 + 3/4
( 2 + 9)/12
= 11/12
13 3/5 = 13 12/20
6 1/4 = 6 5/20
13 12/20 = 6 5/20 = 7 7/20
I'll be glad to check your answer to the second problem.
To solve the subtraction problem 8 3/4 - 5 5/6, you first need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. Here's how you can do that:
For 8 3/4:
Multiply the whole number (8) by the denominator (4) and then add the numerator (3). This gives you: (8*4) + 3 = 35.
So, 8 3/4 as an improper fraction is 35/4.
For 5 5/6:
Multiply the whole number (5) by the denominator (6) and then add the numerator (5). This gives you: (5*6) + 5 = 35.
So, 5 5/6 as an improper fraction is 35/6.
Now that both mixed numbers have been converted to improper fractions, we can proceed with the subtraction:
8 3/4 - 5 5/6
= 35/4 - 35/6
To subtract fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 4*6 = 24. Therefore, we will find equivalent fractions with denominators of 24:
35/4 = (35/4) * (6/6) = 210/24
35/6 = (35/6) * (4/4) = 140/24
Now we can perform the subtraction:
210/24 - 140/24
= (210 - 140)/24
= 70/24
So, 8 3/4 - 5 5/6 is equal to 70/24.
To answer your question, no, 24 is not the denominator for this problem. It is the common denominator that we chose to solve the subtraction.
