4 + -1 1/3
Turn 4 into an improper fraction.
4/4 is equal to 12/3. We want both 4 and 1 1/3 to have the same denominator so that they could be subtracted from each other.
New question :
12/3 + - 1 1/3
Turn {-1 1/3} into an improper fraction.
(3 × 1) + 1 = 4/3
So, -1 1/3 = -4/3
Our new question :
12/3 + - 4/3
Simplify.
12/3 - 4/3 = 8/3
Turn into a mixed number.
2 2/3

should be correct
Answer:
r = 6 mph and f = 11 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Representations:
1) speed of faster cyclist: f = r + 5
2) speed of slower cyclist: r
Distances covered:
(r + 5)(5 hr) + r(5) = 55 mi (total distance covered)
Then 5r + 25 + 5r = 55, or, after reducing this equation:
r + 5 + r = 11, or
2r = 6
Then r = 6 mph and f = 11 mph
