?o_0?
18 - 17 = 1
1 - 2 = 1
So 1yd and 1ft
I really need help with this
how do you subtract 1 from 2? won't that be -1?
its 2 feet
well, 18yd = 17yd + 3ft
Now just subtract the yards and feet separately
This does not help just give me the answer
it's 1yd and 1ft for me idk if it is for you
To subtract mixed units of distance, you need to first convert them into a common unit. Let's convert both values to yards, which is a common unit for distance.
18 yards and 1 foot can be written as 18 + 1/3 yards (since there are 3 feet in a yard). So, this is equal to 18 1/3 yards.
17 yards and 2 feet can be written as 17 + 2/3 yards (using the same conversion method). So, this is equal to 17 2/3 yards.
Now we can subtract the two values:
18 1/3 yards - 17 2/3 yards
To subtract mixed fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the denominators are already the same (3), so we can subtract the numerators directly:
(18 - 17) + (1/3 - 2/3) yards
Now, subtracting the whole numbers and fractions separately:
1 + (1/3 - 2/3) yards
Next, subtract the fractions:
1 + (-1/3) yards
Finally, simplify:
1 - 1/3 yards
To make the answer more consistent, convert the fraction to a decimal:
1 - 1/3 yards = 0.6667 yards
So, 18 yt 1ft - 17 yd 2 ft is equal to approximately 0.6667 yards.
