Question

Subract 5 5/21 from 13 1/7

Answer 1

Answer:

7 19/21

Step-by-step explanation:

13 1/7 - 5 5/21

Get a common denominator

13 1/7*3/3 - 5 5/21

13 3/21 - 5 5/21

We need to borrow 1 from the 13 in the form of 21/21

12 +21/21 + 3/21   - 5 5/21

12 24/21 - 5 5/21

7 19/21

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 166/21, or 7 19/21

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would set up the equation, which is:

13 1/7 - 5 5/21

Next, you would turn them into an improper fraction, which is:

92/7 - 110/21

Then, you would multiply 92/7 by 3/3 because that is the least common multiple for 21 and 7 (which are the denominators). When you are done multiplying, the equation would be:

276/21 - 110/21

Afterwards, you would subtract the numerators and leave the denominators alone, which gives you the answer 166/21. As a mixed number, this would equal 7 19/21.
