-24 4\5 - 6 7/10
To subtract the two mixed numbers, you need to first convert them into improper fractions.
-24 4/5 = (-24 * 5 + 4)/5 = (-120 + 4)/5 = -116/5
-6 7/10 = (-6 * 10 + 7)/10 = (-60 + 7)/10 = -53/10
Now, you can subtract the fractions:
-116/5 - 53/10
To add or subtract fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 10 is 10.
Now, convert the fractions:
-116/5 = -116/5 * 2/2 = -232/10
-53/10 = -53/10
Now, subtract the fractions:
-232/10 - 53/10 = (-232 - 53)/10 = -285/10
Simplifying the fraction, you get:
-285/10 = -28 5/10
Therefore, -24 4/5 - 6 7/10 = -28 5/10.
To subtract -24 4/5 from 6 7/10, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert both numbers to improper fractions.
-24 4/5 = -24(5/5) + 4/5 = -120/5 + 4/5 = -124/5
6 7/10 = 6(10/10) + 7/10 = 60/10 + 7/10 = 67/10
Step 2: Subtract the fractions.
67/10 - 124/5
Step 3: Find a common denominator.
The least common multiple of 10 and 5 is 10. So, we can rewrite the fractions with the common denominator of 10.
67/10 - 124/5 = 67/10 - (124*2)/(5*2) = 67/10 - 248/10
Step 4: Subtract the numerators and keep the denominator.
Subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same.
67/10 - 248/10 = (67 - 248)/10 = -181/10
Step 5: Simplify the fraction.
-181/10 cannot be simplified any further.
The final result when subtracting -24 4/5 from 6 7/10 is -181/10.
