Question

8-2 3/4 please help im so confused...

Answer 1

First we set up our problem.

8- 2 3/4

Next, we turn our mixed fraction, 2 3/4, into an improper fraction.

2 3/4= 11/4.

Next, we turn 8 into a fraction.

32/4.

The reason we chose 4 as our denominator was to make it easier to subtract it from 11/4.

Next we subtract our two fractions.

32/4-11/4=21/4.

Finally, we simplify 21/4.

5 1/4.

Our final answer is 5 1/4.

Have a nice day! :)

Answer 2

The answer is 5 1/4.
