PLS HELP ME BIN ON THIS ONE FOR HOURS WILL GIVE 80 PONITS IF ANSWER

Explain how you would use the number line to solve the following equation. You can write out the fraction names or use the forward slash (/) on your keyboard to represent the fraction bars.

four and two eighths minus two and five eighths equals

a number line from zero to three with a tick on every eighth

subject: science

Answer 1

55/8 as a mixed fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

4 2/8 - 2 5/8 = ?

Four and two-eighths can be represented as a mixed number by multiplying (4x8+2)/8 = 34/8

Two and five-eighths can be represented as a mixed number by multiplying (2x8+5)/8 = 21/8

Then, these two values can be easily added. 34+21 = 55/8

You can plot this on a number line by also representing these mixed fractions as a decimal, and then adding them - you can draw lines to represent the addition process.

Since the number line already represents a tick on every eighth (which is the fraction you would primarily be using), this will make it earlier.
