2 1/6 - 1.5 answer as a fraction
would it be 2/3?
also what percent of a meter is 3 centimeters? would it be 33 1/3%
2 1/6= 12/6 + 1/6=13/6
1.5=3/2=(3*3)/(2*3)=9/6
2 1/6 - 1.5= 13/6 - 9/6 = 4/6 =
(2*2)/(2*3)= 2/3
2 1/6 - 1.5=2/3
1. Right
2. No.
1 meter = 100 cm.
3/100 = 0.03333 = 3 1/3%
To find the answer to the first question, we can subtract the two mixed numbers:
2 1/6 - 1.5
To subtract mixed numbers, we need to convert everything to a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 6:
2 1/6 = 12/6 + 1/6 = 13/6
1.5 = 1 5/10 = 1 3/6 = 6/6 + 3/6 = 9/6
Now we can subtract:
13/6 - 9/6 = 4/6
Simplifying 4/6 gives us 2/3, so your fraction answer is correct.
Regarding the second question, we have to find what percent 3 centimeters is of a meter. Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, we can set up a proportion:
3 centimeters / 100 centimeters = x percent / 100
Cross multiply:
100 * 3 = 100x
300 = 100x
Divide both sides by 100:
300/100 = x
x = 3
So, 3 centimeters is 3% of a meter, not 33 1/3%.
