How do you subtract mixed numbers

Mathematics
1 answer:
saveliy_v [14]3 years ago
4 0
Each mixed number has to be converted to an improper fraction first. Then convert to common denominators.


= 8 5/6 - 2 4/9
convert to improper fractions

= 53/6 - 22/9
find common denominators; both denominators go into 18

= 159/18 - 44/18
subtract numerators

= 115/18
convert back to mixed number

= 6 7/18


ANSWER: 6 7/18

Hops this helps! :)

X+3/2 + (x-1) = 4/5 ​
tester [92]

Answer:

x = \frac{3}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x + \frac{3}{2} + (x - 1) = \frac{4}{5}

Multiply through by 10 ( the LCM of 2 and 5 ) to clear the fractions

10x + 15 + 10(x - 1) = 8

10x + 15 + 10x - 10 = 8

20x + 5 = 8 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

20x = 3 ( divide both sides by 20 )

x = \frac{3}{20}

What is the nth term?
kumpel [21]

Let a_k denote the <em>k</em>th term of the sequence. Then

a_k=a_1+d(k-1)

where <em>d</em> is the common difference between consecutive terms in the sequence and <em>a</em>₁ is the first term.

The sum of the first <em>n</em> terms is

S_n=\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^na_k=a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_{n-1}+a_n

From the formula for a_k, we get

S_n=\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n(a_1+d(k-1))=a_1\sum_{k=1}^n1+d\sum_{k=1}^n(k-1)

S_n=\displaystyle na_1+d\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}k

S_n=na_1+\dfrac{d(n-1)n}2

S_n=\dfrac n2(2a_1-d+dn)

So we have d=-5, and 2a_1-d=16 so that a_1=\frac{11}2.

Then the <em>n</em>th term in the sequence is

a_n=\dfrac{11}2-5(n-1)=\boxed{\dfrac{21-10n}2}
