Question

The comfy couch furniture store purchased 3 1/3 pages to advertise upcoming sales for the summer. when the store did not receive a shipment as planned, the Fourth of July sale was canceled. The store also canceled the 1 7/10 pages purchased for advertising that sale. how many pages of advertising did the paper print?

Answer 1

3 1/3= 10/3
1 7/10= 17/10
Common denominator is 30.
So 10/3= 100/30
And 17/10= 51/30
(100/30)-(51/30)= 49/30
49/30= 1 19/30
