First, state whether you agree or disagree. Then, explain briefly how to subtract mixed numbers with unlike denominators. Be sure to show your solution as a subtraction equation.
can you please put numbers in one line together?
use notation like
3 1/2 or 4/7
for mixed numbers or fractions.
7 5/8-5 1/3=2 4/5 7-5=2, 5-1=4 8-3=5
answer me please
Verrry sloppy formatting, but if I read things right, you want to check to see whether
7 5/8-5 1/3=2 4/5
7-5=2
5-1=4
8-3=5
I think the bottom three are obvious. The top one is
7 5/8-5 1/3
= 61/8 - 16/3
= 183/24 - 128/24
= 55/24
= 2 7/24
Definitely not 2 4/5
If I read things wrong, maybe you can clean things up a bit more
do nothing what
thank you

I agree with Shannon's statement that 7 5/8 - 5 1/3 = 2 4/5.
To subtract mixed numbers with unlike denominators, follow these steps:
1. Find a common denominator for the fractions involved. In this case, the denominators are 8 and 3. The least common multiple of 8 and 3 is 24, so we'll use 24 as the common denominator.
2. Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
7 5/8 becomes (7 * 8 + 5)/8 = 57/8
5 1/3 becomes (5 * 3 + 1)/3 = 16/3
3. Rewrite the subtraction equation using the common denominator.
57/8 - 16/3 = ?
4. Adjust the fractions so that they have the same denominator.
Multiply the numerator and denominator of 57/8 by 3 to get a denominator of 24:
(57 * 3)/(8 * 3) = 171/24
Multiply the numerator and denominator of 16/3 by 8 to get a denominator of 24:
(16 * 8)/(3 * 8) = 128/24
5. Subtract the fractions by subtracting their numerators while keeping the common denominator.
171/24 - 128/24 = (171 - 128)/24 = 43/24
6. Simplify the resulting fraction if possible. In this case, it is already in its simplest form.
7. Convert the improper fraction back into a mixed number.
43/24 can be written as 1 19/24
Therefore, the subtraction equation becomes:
7 5/8 - 5 1/3 = 2 4/5.
