Answer:
(4+5-2+1)- (7+3-8+6) = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
you look for what numbers when subtracted equal zero (in this case each of the parentheses is 8) in each of the parentheses and combine them at the end to form the final equation.
let's first off convert those mixed fractions to improper fractions, then get their difference.
![\bf \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{3}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{10}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 10+1}{10}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{21}{10}} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \cfrac{21}{10}-\cfrac{3}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 10}}{\cfrac{(1)21-(5)3}{10}}\implies \cfrac{21-15}{10}\implies \cfrac{6}{10}\implies \cfrac{3}{5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cstackrel%7Bmixed%7D%7B1%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B1%5Ccdot%202%2B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bimproper%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%7D~%5Chfill%20%5Cstackrel%7Bmixed%7D%7B2%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B10%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B2%5Ccdot%2010%2B1%7D%7B10%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bimproper%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B21%7D%7B10%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20%5Crule%7B34em%7D%7B0.25pt%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Ccfrac%7B21%7D%7B10%7D-%5Ccfrac%7B3%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Busing%20the%20LCD%20of%2010%7D%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B%281%2921-%285%293%7D%7B10%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B21-15%7D%7B10%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B6%7D%7B10%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B3%7D%7B5%7D)
now, the original amount, 3/2, if that is the 100%, what is 3/5 off of it in percentage?
