6 positive tiles because there’s 6 negative so 6 positive will cancel it out
I have done the segment 1 pratice exam
Answer:
<em>2 7/24</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>First we have to add the gallons of two cow of each owner:</em>
<em>Hank's cows: </em><em>4 3/4 + 4 1/8</em>
<em>Add the whole numbers:</em>
<em>4 + 4 = 8</em>
<em>Now for 3/4 and 1/8 </em>
<em>Find common</em>
<em>6/8 + 1/8</em>
<em>= 7/8</em>
<em>Put together :</em>
<em>8 7/8</em>
<em>Debra's cows: </em><em>5 1/2 + 5 2/3</em>
<em>Add the whole number</em>
<em>5 + 5 = 10</em>
<em>Now for 1/2 and 2/3</em>
<em>3/6 + 4/6</em>
<em>1 1/6</em>
<em>10 + 1 1/6 </em>
<em>= 11 1/6</em>
<u><em>Since now we know that:</em></u>
<u><em>Hank - </em></u><em>8 7/8</em>
<u><em>Debra - </em></u><em>11 1/6</em>
<em>we can solve the question:</em>
<em>How many more gallons of milk did Debra's two cows produce on that compared to Hank's two cows?</em>
<em>Solution:</em>
<em>11 1/6 - 8 7/8</em>
<em>Subtract whole number</em>
<em>11 - 8 = 3</em>
<em>Now for 1/6 and 7/8</em>
<em>4/24 - 21/24</em>
<em>4-21/24</em>
<em>-17/24</em>
<em>2 7/24</em>

It already is a fraction though. I assume you mean to simplify it. You can simplify fraction by taking out the greatest common factor(that they share) in the denominator and numerator. In this case the denominator and numerator share the factor 5. So you if you divide the numerator and denominator by 5 you get 3/10 or the simplest form of the fraction.
The answer is
