Question

The cheetah is 7/6 the Perigen falcon is 10/3

Answer 1

The answer is
`2 (1)/(6)`.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to subtract the fractions, we must make them like fractions. To do this, the denominators must be the same by multiplying (only). Since the first fraction is
`(10)/(3)`, 3 can be multiplied by 2 to get 6, which is the other fraction, we can multiply it. Whatever you do to the denominator you must do to the numerator. Now multiply 2 by the numerator (10) to get
`(20)/(6)`. Now we can subtract the fractions
`(20)/(6)` and
`(7)/(6)` to get 13/6. Since this fraction is not in mixed fraction form yet, we must do that first. goes into 13 twice, so the whole number is 2 and there is still 1 left, making the fraction
`(1)/(6)`. Therefore, the difference is 2
`(1)/(6)`.
