Question

7 1⁄5 – 6 2⁄5 = ?

A. 1 4⁄5
B. 4⁄5
C. 13 3⁄5
D. 1 1⁄5

Answer 1

B. 4⁄5

Explanation:

7 1⁄5

– 6 2⁄5

-----------------

We need to borrow from the 7 since 1/5 is less than 2/5

7 becomes 6 and the one becomes 5/5

6 5/5+1⁄5

– 6 2⁄5

-----------------

Combining the fraction

6 6⁄5

– 6 2⁄5

-----------------

4/5
