-4and 5/11- 2 and 4/11
To subtract these two fractions, we need to find a common denominator.
The denominators are 11 in both fractions.
So, we can subtract the fractions directly.
(-4 and 5/11) - (2 and 4/11) = -6 and 1/11
To subtract -4 and 5/11 from 2 and 4/11, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
-4 and 5/11 can be written as (-4 × 11 + 5)/11 = (-44 + 5)/11 = -39/11.
2 and 4/11 can be written as (2 × 11 + 4)/11 = (22 + 4)/11 = 26/11.
Step 2: Subtract the fractions.
Since the denominators are the same, you can simply subtract the numerators.
(-39/11) - (26/11) = (-39 - 26)/11 = -65/11.
Step 3: Simplify the resulting fraction if possible.
-65/11 cannot be simplified further, so this is the final answer.
