Question

7 1/6- 4 2/3 Please help meee

Answer 1

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You must ensure your fractions have common denominators. For this equation you must convert 2/3 into something over 6, so you will multiply 2/3 by 2 and end up with 4/6.

7-4=3, and 1/6-4/6=-3/6

3(18/6)-3/6=2.5(15/6) or if you have paper and pencil just subtract normally.

7 1/6-4 4/6=2 3/6, or 2.5

Answer 2

Answer:

$2\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

7-4=3

now let's change the denominator by finding the lcd (lowest common denominator)

factors of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12...

factors of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24...

both 3 and 6 has 6 as their lcd

3 x 2= 6

1/6 -4/6= -3/6

REDUCE

-1/2

3-1/2

2 1/2
