Answer 1

Answer:

Find the two ways to find the difference of : $\frac{13}{50} -4.93$

First way:

$\frac{13}{50}$

To convert this fraction  into decimal.

We have to make the denominator 100.

i.,e

$\frac{13}{50} = \frac{13 \times 2}{50 \times 2}= \frac{26}{100} = 0.26$

now,

$0.26-4.93 = - 4.67$

Second way:

Convert $\frac{13}{50}$ to $\frac{26}{100}$ and 4.93 to $\frac{493}{100}$,

Now:

$\frac{26}{100}-\frac{493}{100} = \frac{26-493}{100} =-\frac{467}{100} = -4.67$
