Question

Casey and Brett are doing their book reports. Casey has written 2 5/8 pages. Brett has written 3/4 of pages less then Casey. How many pages as Bret written?

Answer 1

Make 2 5/8 an improper fraction which is 21/8 then turn 3/4 by multiping by 2 to get 6/8. Subtract 21/8 from 6/8 which equals to 15/8 or 1 7/8

Answer 2

In order to solve, you have to set both fractions to a common denominator;
looks like this when you do: 2 5/8    and 6/8.

Then you subtract, which comes out to 1 7/8.

So your final answer is Bret has written 1 and 7/8 pages.




i hope this helps (;
