claude has 5 1/2 meters of ribbon and uses 4 2/3 meters of it how much ribbons does claude have left in simplest form
plz i really need help
11 1/6 ?
To find out how much ribbon Claude has left, we need to subtract the amount he used from the total amount he had.
First, let's convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions for easier calculations:
5 1/2 = (2 * 5 + 1)/2 = 11/2
4 2/3 = (3 * 4 + 2)/3 = 14/3
Now we can subtract the amount used from the total amount:
(11/2) - (14/3)
To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. The common denominator of 2 and 3 is 6. So, let's find equivalent fractions with a denominator of 6:
(11/2) = (11/2) * (3/3) = 33/6
(14/3) = (14/3) * (2/2) = 28/6
Now we can subtract the fractions:
(33/6) - (28/6) = 5/6
Therefore, Claude has 5/6 meters of ribbon left.
mr sue what do you mean
never mind i understand
4 9/6 - 4 4/6 can you tell me the answer
go to hack math put the number correctly it will give you the answers
5/6 meters
4 9/6 - 4 4/6 = _______ meters
The first ribbon is over 5 meters, while the second ribbon is almost 5 meters long.
9/6 - 4/6 = 5/6 (hint: remember to just subtract the numerators (the top portions)
ANd the 4 m - 4m = 0 so the final answer is that one is 5/6 of a meter longer then the other piece.
5 1/2 = 4 3/2 = 4 9/6
4 2/3 = 4 4/6
4 9/6 - 4 4/6 = _______ meters
