Question

Simplify 3 3/4- 1/5

Answer 1

Answer: 3 11/20

explanation: change 3 3/4 to a mixed number which is 15/4 then get a common denominator which is 75/20 - 4/20 then subtract and get 71/20 and then change to a mixed number and simplify to get 3 11/20

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{75}{20}- \frac{4}{20} = \frac{71}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to get them both to have the common denominator, which is  20 in this case.

$3\frac{3}{4}$ turns into

$\frac{15}{4\\ }\\\\[turns into this with the common denominator:]\\ \frac{75}{20}$

then subtract as seen above.
