subtraction of fraction
5 1/3- 2 11/12 = 5 /12 - 2 11/12 = 4 /12 - 2 11/12 =
change each to an improper fraction, then
find the LCD.
I don't understand what you have written, it makes no sense
5 1/3- 2 11/12
= 16/3 - 37/12
= 64/12 - 37/12
= 27/12
= 9/4 or 2 1/4
i don't kno
To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator.
Let's simplify the mixed numbers (whole number and fraction) first:
5 1/3 = (5 * 3 + 1)/3 = 16/3
2 11/12 = (2 * 12 + 11)/12 = 35/12
Now, let's find a common denominator for 3 and 12. The least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 12 is 12.
Since the denominator of the first fraction is 3, we need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4 to get a common denominator of 12:
16/3 = (16 * 4)/(3 * 4) = 64/12
Now, we can perform the subtraction:
64/12 - 35/12 = (64 - 35)/12 = 29/12
Therefore, 5 1/3 - 2 11/12 is equal to 29/12.
