PLS HELP
To find the difference between 7 one-half and 6 three-tenths, we can subtract the two numbers.
First, let's convert 6 three-tenths into a mixed number. To do this, multiply the denominator (10) by the whole number (6), and add the numerator (3) to get the new numerator. This gives us (6 * 10) + 3 = 60 + 3 = 63. Therefore, 6 three-tenths can be written as 6 and three-tenths, or 6 63/10.
Now, we can subtract 6 63/10 from 7 one-half.
To subtract mixed numbers, we need to make sure the fractions have the same denominator. In this case, the denominators are 2 and 10, so we need to find a common denominator. The lowest common multiple of 2 and 10 is 10.
To convert the fraction one-half to tenths, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 5: (1 * 5)/(2 * 5) = 5/10.
Now, we can rewrite the subtraction as:
7 5/10 - 6 63/10
Subtracting the fractions, we get:
(7 5/10) - (6 63/10)
= (7 - 6) + (5/10 - 63/10)
= 1 - 58/10
= 1 - 5 8/10
Finally, we can simplify the fraction by converting it back to a mixed number:
= 0 - 5 8/10
= -5 8/10
Therefore, the difference between 7 one-half and 6 three-tenths is -5 8/10.
