Question

I need this simplified in to a proper fraction, how do I do that

Answer 1

$10\frac{3}{4}-4\frac{7}{8}$

To simplify, write each mixed number as a proper fraction.

To write a mixed number as a proper fraction add the whole part and the fraction part.

Addition and substraction of fractions:

$\frac{a}{b}\pm\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ad\pm bc}{bd}$

Write 10 3/4 as a porper fraction:

$10+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{40+3}{4}=\frac{43}{4}$

Write 4 7/8 as a proper fraction:

$4+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{32+7}{8}=\frac{39}{8}$

Then, you have the next substraction of fractions:

$undefined$
