Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

You can't simplify 5/6 since while 6 would divide in half to be 3 and match the other denominator, 5 wouldn't divide in half evenly. Instead, multiply the top and bottom number of the other fraction by two:

5/6 - 4/6

This way they share equal denominators. When subtracting fractions with matching denominators, the denominator doesn't change in the answer. Just subtract the numerators:

5/6 - 4/6 = 1/6

This is already in simplest form.

How To Round 17 5/8 To The Nearest Whole Number

Verdich [7]

Answer:
18

Explanation:
To round a number to the nearest whole number, we would check the fraction part:
If the fraction is less than 0.5, then we would simply ignore the fraction
If the fraction is equal to or more than 0.5, then we would add 1 to the whole number and eliminate the fraction.

In the given , we have:
 $17 \frac{5}{8}$ .

The fraction part is $\frac{5}{8}$ which is greater than 0.5
This means that we would add one to the whole number (round it up) and eliminate the fraction.
Therefore, the answer would be 18.

Hope this helps :)

Which expression is equivalent to the given expression? −(1/2y+1/4)

Zigmanuir [339]

$-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}y+\dfrac{1}{4}\right)=-\dfrac{1}{2}y-\dfrac{1}{4}=-\dfrac{1\cdot2}{2\cdot2}y-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{-2y}{4}-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{-2y-1}{4}\\\\=-\dfrac{2y+1}{4}$
