Question

Jimmy has a piece of string that is 6 3/4 inches long, and Sam has a piece of string that is 7 1/2 inches long.

Answer 1

Answer:

3/4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract Jimmys string length from Sam's string length

7 1/2 - 6 3/4

Get a common denominator of 4

7 1/2*2/2 - 6 3/4

7 2/4 - 6 3/4

Borrow 1 ( or 4/4) from the 7

6 4/4 + 2/4 - 6 3/4

6 6/4 - 6 3/4

3/4

Answer 2

Answer:

Hello, There! My Name is Rocky <3 I'm here to help! :D

The Correct Answer is 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting our equation with parts separated

= 7 + 1/2 - 6 -  3/4

Solving the whole number parts

7− 6 =1

Solving the fraction parts

1/2 −3/ 4=?

Find the LCD of 1/2 and 3/4 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.

LCD = 4

2/4−3/4=−14

Combining the whole and fraction parts

1−1/4=3/4
