Question

2 1/4 - 2/3. A. 1 3/7. B. 1 7/12. C 2 3/7. D 2 11/12

Answer 1

Answer:

B.) $1\frac{7}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2\frac{1}{4} -\frac{2}{3} Then multiply 4 by 2, then add 1.frac{9}{4} - \frac{2}{3}$

Then find the Least Common Denominator(LCD); simply just multiply 4 by 3 to get 12; then multiply using the opposite number.

$\frac{3}{3} *\frac{9}{4} - \frac{4}{4} * \frac{2}{3}$

to get: $\frac{27}{12} - \frac{8}{12}$.

now the denominators is the same on both sides, just subtract the numerator.

27 - 8 = 19

Now simply: $\frac{19}{12} = 1\frac{7}{12}$.

Your final answer is 1\frac{7}{12}[/tex].
