Answer: 2 and 1/10

Step-by-step explanation: To subtract mixed numbers, we first subtract the fractions.

Notice that 1/2 and 2/5 are unlike fractions so we need a common denominator which in this case is 10. <em>If you need a review on how to find the common denominator for these fractions, let me know in the comments below and I will be more than happy to explain</em>.

To get a 10 in the denominator of 1/2, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 5 to get 5/10. To get a 10 in the denominator of 2/5, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 4/10.

So we have 4 and 5/10 - 2 and 4/10.

Subtracting the fractions, 5/10 - 4/10 is 1/10 and subtracting the whole numbers, 4 - 2 is 2. So 4 and 1/2 - 2 and 2/5 is 2 and 1/10.

kramer

Samantha and Mia are 13 km apart from each other.

<h3>What is Pythagorean ?</h3>

A right triangle's squared sides add up to the hypotenuse's squared length, according to the Pythagorean Theorem.

Mia is 7 kilometers north of Julia's home as she walked at a speed of 7 kilometers per hour.

Samantha walked at an average speed of 11 km/h, and she is now 11 kilometers west of Julia's home.

A right-angled triangle is formed by Julia's house, Mia and Samantha's locations after one hour, and the figure's points.

Hypotenuse of the triangle, which measures distance between the females

the Pythagorean theorem,

H² = P² + B²

H² = 7² + 11²

H² = 49 + 121

H = √170

H = 13.038

H = 13km

Between them, there is a 13 kilometer distance.
