What is the difference of 150-1/3-2/5

Sagot :

Answer:

3 1/2 - 4 1/7 = -9/

14  ≅ -0.6428571

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 3 1/

2

to a improper fraction: 3 1/2 = 3 1/

2

= 3 · 2 + 1/

2

= 6 + 1/

2

= 7/

2

To find a new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 3 by the denominator 2. Whole number 3 equally 3 * 2/

2

= 6/

2

b) Add the answer from previous step 6 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 6 + 1 = 7

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 7) over the denominator 2.

Three and one half is seven halfs

Conversion a mixed number 4 1/

7

to a improper fraction: 4 1/7 = 4 1/

7

= 4 · 7 + 1/

7

= 28 + 1/

7

= 29/

7

To find a new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 4 by the denominator 7. Whole number 4 equally 4 * 7/

7

= 28/

7

b) Add the answer from previous step 28 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 28 + 1 = 29

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 29) over the denominator 7.

Four and one seventh is twenty-nine sevenths

Subtract: 7/

2

- 29/

7

= 7 · 7/

2 · 7

- 29 · 2/

7 · 2

= 49/

14

- 58/

14

= 49 - 58/

14

= -9/

14

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(2, 7) = 14. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 2 × 7 = 14. In the following intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In other words - seven halfs minus twenty-nine sevenths = minus nine fourteenths.
