Question

6 2/4- 2 2/5=? Reduce if needed

Answer 1

Answer: 4&1/10ths

Step-by-step explanation:

$6\frac{1}{2} -2\frac{2}{5} \\\\ \frac{6*2+1}{2} -2\frac{2}{5} \\\\\frac{13}{2} -2\frac{2}{5}\\\\\frac{13}{2}-\frac{2*5+2}{5} \\\\\frac{13}{2}-\frac{12}{5}$

Find the LCD=10 then make the denominators the same as the LCD.

$\frac{13*5}{2*5} \frac{12*2}{5*2} \\\\\frac{64}{10} -\frac{24}{10} \\\\\frac{65-24}{10} \\\\\frac{41}{10}=4 \frac{1}{10}$

Hope this helps, HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great Superbowl Weekend! :-)
