Question

The cheetah is 7/6 the Perigen falcon is 10/3

Answer 1

The answer is $2 \frac{1}{6}$.

Explanation:

In order to subtract the fractions, we must make them like fractions. To do this, the denominators must be the same by multiplying (only). Since the first fraction is $\frac{10}{3}$, 3 can be multiplied by 2 to get 6, which is the other fraction, we can multiply it. Whatever you do to the denominator you must do to the numerator. Now multiply 2 by the numerator (10) to get $\frac{20}{6}$. Now we can subtract the fractions $\frac{20}{6}$ and $\frac{7}{6}$ to get 13/6. Since this fraction is not in mixed fraction form yet, we must do that first.  goes into 13 twice, so the whole number is 2 and there is still 1 left, making the fraction $\frac{1}{6}$. Therefore, the difference is 2 $\frac{1}{6}$.
