3 3/10 - 3 5/8
To subtract these mixed numbers, we need to convert them into a common fractional form.
Converting 3 3/10 into a fraction:
3 3/10 = (3 * 10 + 3) / 10 = 33/10
Converting 3 5/8 into a fraction:
3 5/8 = (3 * 8 + 5) / 8 = 29/8
Now we can subtract the fractions:
33/10 - 29/8
To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 10 and 8 is 40.
Adjusting the first fraction:
33/10 = (33 * 4) / (10 * 4) = 132/40
Adjusting the second fraction:
29/8 = (29 * 5) / (8 * 5) = 145/40
Now we can subtract the fractions with a common denominator:
132/40 - 145/40 = (132 - 145) / 40 = -13/40
Therefore, 3 3/10 - 3 5/8 equals -13/40.
To subtract the mixed numbers 3 3/10 and 3 5/8, you can follow these steps:
1. Convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions.
- 3 3/10 = (3 * 10 + 3)/10 = 33/10
- 3 5/8 = (3 * 8 + 5)/8 = 29/8
2. Find a common denominator.
The common denominator for 10 and 8 is 40.
3. Convert both fractions to have a denominator of 40.
- 33/10 = (33/10) * (4/4) = 132/40
- 29/8 = (29/8) * (5/5) = 145/40
4. Subtract the fractions.
132/40 - 145/40 = (132 - 145)/40 = -13/40
5. Simplify the resulting fraction if necessary.
In this case, -13/40 cannot be simplified further.
Therefore, the difference between 3 3/10 and 3 5/8 is -13/40.
To subtract the two mixed numbers 3 3/10 and 3 5/8, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions.
First, let's convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions:
3 3/10 = (3 x 10 + 3)/10 = 33/10
3 5/8 = (3 x 8 + 5)/8 = 29/8
Now, we need to find a common denominator for 10 and 8. The least common multiple (LCM) of 10 and 8 is 40.
Next, we can write the two fractions with the common denominator of 40:
33/10 = (33 x 4)/(10 x 4) = 132/40
29/8 = (29 x 5)/(8 x 5) = 145/40
Now, we can subtract the fractions:
132/40 - 145/40 = (132 - 145)/40 = -13/40
So, the result of subtracting 3 3/10 from 3 5/8 is -13/40.
