- 24 4/5 - 6 7/10
To solve this expression, we first need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
24 4/5 can be written as (24 x 5 + 4) / 5 = 124 / 5
6 7/10 can be written as (6 x 10 + 7) / 10 = 67 / 10
Now we can subtract these fractions:
124/5 - 67/10
To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator, which in this case is 10.
124/5 = (124 x 2) / (5 x 2) = 248 / 10
Now we can subtract:
248/10 - 67/10 = (248 - 67) / 10 = 181 / 10
So, the result is 181/10.
To subtract 24 4/5 from 6 7/10, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert mixed numbers into improper fractions:
24 4/5 = (24 * 5 + 4) / 5 = 124/5
6 7/10 = (6 * 10 + 7) / 10 = 67/10
Step 2: Find a common denominator for the fractions.
The common denominator for 5 and 10 is 10.
Step 3: Rewrite the fractions with the common denominator:
124/5 = 124/5 * 2/2 = 248/10
67/10 = 67/10
Step 4: Subtract the fractions by subtracting the numerators:
248/10 - 67/10 = (248 - 67) / 10 = 181/10
Step 5: Simplify the fraction, if necessary:
181/10 is already in its simplest form.
So, the answer is 181/10.
