So, the subtraction looks like this:
223
-119
_______
The reason why combining place values here is necessary is that 3 is less than 9 (so I can't just substract in the one's place without going to negative numbers)
so we combine the ones and tens places and substract the whole: 23-19 is four!
223
-119
_______
04
and then we continue
223
-119
_______
204
and that's the result!
When you divide by a fraction all you have to is multiply by the reciprocal. The reciprocal of 3/8 is 8/3.
<span>The real problem is 2/3 TIMES 8/3. Multiply the numerators across 2 X 8 = 16. Then multiply the denominators across 3 X 3 = 9. The answer is 16/9. If you need to simplify then the answer is 1 7/9.</span>
