What is 7 3/4 minus 2 3/16

Answer 1

Answer: $5\frac{19}{16}$

Turn 7 3/4 into an Improper Fraction

Multiply 7*4 and get 28. Now add 3 and get 31.

7 3/4 = 31/4

Turn 2 3/16 into an Improper Fraction

Multiply 2*16 and get 32. Now add 3 and get 35.

2 3/16 = 35/16

Turn 89/16 into a Mixed Number

$\frac{89}{16} =5\frac{19}{16}$
