Question

Find the difference between 7 1/2 and 2 3/4

Answer 1

Answer:

4$\frac{3}{4}$ or 4.75

Step-by-step explanation:

first we're going to convert the number into improper fractions.

7$\frac{1}{2}$= $\frac{15}{2}$ and 2$\frac{3}{4}$= $\frac{11}{4}$

For subtracting it is suitable to adjust both fractions to an equal denominator, so we're going to multiply $\frac{15}{2}$x2, it'll equal the same number.

So now we have $\frac{30}{4}$-$\frac{11}{4}$, 30-11= 19.

$\frac{19}4}$ simplified is, 4$\frac{3}{4}$.

As you can see I also added 4.75 as an answer, that's if the answer must be a decimal.

I hope this helps you!
