Answer: C is not correct i just took the test and it was wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step to solving this is converting these mixed numbers into improper fractions. You would do that by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and adding the numerator to that number; this number replaces the numerator. It would look something like this:
1 8/10 --> 18/10
2 2/5 --> 12/5
Now, to subtract the second fraction from the first one, the denominators of both fractions must be the same. We can make them the same by multiplying the second fraction by 2:
12/5 * 2/2 = 24/10
Now we can set up the equation as:
18/10 - 24/10 = -6/10 --> -3/5
The answer is negative 3/5.
I hope this helps.
Divide by 50 then divide by ten then just add that to 68 the divide by 5
18/5 is basically 3 3/5 as a mixed number. When you convert a fraction to a decimal, you always want the denominator to either 10, 100, or 1000 so that the number is accurate. And so you multiply the denominator by what ever number will get 10, 100 or 1000, in which in this case is 10 when you multiply by 2. Multiply the numerator(3) by 2 so that it will be the same value. You should now have 3 6/10. After that, since 6/10 is basically 60/100, take out the 100 and move the decimal unit 2 units to the left of 60. And since you still have the whole number three, your final answer will be 3.6.
