Question

7 1/5 - 6 2/5= a. 1 1/5 b. 1 4/5 c. 13 3/5 d. 4/5

Answer 1

Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

7 + 1/5 - (6 + 2/5)

Put 6 + 2/5 over the common denominator 5. 6 + 2/5 = (5×6)/5 + 2/5:

7 + 1/5 - (5×6)/5 + 2/5

5×6 = 30:

7 + 1/5 - (30/5 + 2/5)

30/5 + 2/5 = (30 + 2)/5:

7 + 1/5 - (30 + 2)/5

30 + 2 = 32:

7 + 1/5 - 32/5

Put 7 + 1/5 - 32/5 over the common denominator 5. 7 + 1/5 - 32/5 = (5×7)/5 + 1/5 - 32/5:

(5×7)/5 + 1/5 - 32/5

5×7 = 35:

35/5 + 1/5 - 32/5

35/5 + 1/5 - 32/5 = (35 + 1 - 32)/5:

(35 + 1 - 32)/5

35 + 1 = 36:

(36 - 32)/5
