1. 5 1/2 - 1 2/3 2. 4 2/9 - 3 1/3 3. 8 - 3 2/74. 7 2/5 - 2 1/2​

Answer 1

Answer:

$1. \: 2 \frac{1}{6} \\ 2. \: \frac{8}{9} \\ 3. \: 4 \frac{5}{7} \\ 4. \: 4 \frac{9}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1

$5 \frac{1}{2} - 1 \frac{2}{3} \\ = \frac{33}{6} - \frac{10}{6} \\ = \frac{13}{6} \\ = 2 \frac{1}{6}$

2

$4 \frac{2}{9} - 3 \frac{1}{3} \\ = \frac{38}{9} - \frac{30}{9} \\ = \frac{8}{9}$

3

$8 - 3 \frac{2}{7} \\ = \frac{56}{7} - \frac{23}{7} \\ = \frac{33}{7} \\ = 4 \frac{5}{7}$

4

$7 \frac{2}{5} - 2 \frac{1}{2} \\ = \frac{74}{10} - \frac{25}{10} \\ = \frac{49}{10} \\ = 4 \frac{9}{10}$
