If there are only two colors (let's say blue and red), here's what can happen:
sock #1 is blue
#2 is either blue or red. If blue, it matches #1 and you have a pair.
if red, go to #3
#3-either blue or red. If blue, matches #1. If red, matches #2.

OR sock #1 is red... then just reverse the colors. Basically, if you have three things that can only be in two groups, then even if two of them are different, the last one has to match one of them.

Answer:

5 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

9 3/5 - 4 1/10

First you need to get common denominator, as we see that we need to get the 5 from the 3/5 to ten, so we multiply 3/5 by 2 on both of the numerator and denominator and you will get 6/10. So the new fraction would be 9 6/10 - 4 1/10 = which would be subtractable. Therefore the answer would be 5 5/10 which equals

5 1/2
