What is the difference of 5 and 2/5

1 answer:

7 0

You need a common denominator of 5

So, change 5/1 denominator into 5, multiply the top and the bottom by 5

5/1 = 25/5

now, when subtracting fractions, you subtract the top from the top and the denominator stays the same

25/5 - 2/5 = 23/5

Answer:

$214\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$8\bigg(\frac{81}{3}+\frac{241}{3}\bigg)\frac{1}{4} \\\\= 8\bigg(\frac{81+241}{3}\bigg)\frac{1}{4} \\\\= 8\bigg(\frac{322}{3}\bigg)\frac{1}{4} \\\\= 8\times\frac{322}{3}\times\frac{1}{4} \\\\= 2\times\frac{322}{3}} \\\\= \frac{644}{3}} \\\\= 214\frac{2}{3} \\$
