Answer:

C. 1 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

5 - 3 1/3

We can also convert 5 into a fraction with the same denominator like this:

Since we’re trying to make 5 a fraction with a denominator of 3, leave 4 as the whole number and 3/3 as the fraction

4 3/3

4 3/3 = 5 because 3/3 = 1 and 4 + 1 = 5

Now we can subtract!

4 3/3 - 3 1/3 = 1 2/3

Step 1. Subtract the whole numbers

Step 2. Subtract the numerator

Step 3. Leave the answer with the same denominator

Robert bought $1.60 worth of stamps with 20 coins all in nickels and dimes. how many nickels and dimes did he use?
mrs_skeptik [129]
Nickels are 5 cents, and dimes are 10 cents.
(By luck..) eventually you can have 12 dimes, meaning you have 120 cents, or $1.20 ... 20-12=8.. meaning you used 12 dimes and are missing 8 more coins. which means you can have 8 nickels which is 40 cents. 120+40=160 cents or $1.60
Hope this helped.
