Answer:
4/11 of 2 1/2 = 4/11 * 5/2 = 20 / 22 = 10/11
a common denominator of 11 and 4 is 44
So 40 / 44 - 33 / 44 = 7/44
Check 4/11 * 2.5 = .909
3/4 = .75
difference = .909 - .750 = .159
7/44 = .159
The correct answer is 5 1/2 because if it weren’t simplified it would be 6/2 which makes the numerator the greatest.
