Question

Ali caught a fish that weighted 9 and 1/2 lb. Lisa caught a fish that weighed 5 and 1/ 3 lb. How much more did ali fish weight.

Answer 1

If Ali caught a fish that was 9 1/2 lbs and Lisa caught a fish that was 5 1/3 lbs, Ali’s fish weighed 4 1/6 lb more.

9 1/2 - 5 1/3= }Change den to be same
9 3/6 - 5 2/6 = } Subtract as you would:
(9/5=4) (whole #-whole #, num-num)
(3-2=1)
}Keep den same

4 1/6
