4 1/3

Okay, I know fractions are scary, but we can do this alright?

First, you see the whole number on the side? Get that first.

10- 5 = 5

now we have 5 left and a scary fraction. Don't panic, let's do this. We know 1 is 3/3. 1 can be anything as long as the number on top and the number at the bottom are the same then it would be one.

So 3/3 is one then we can subtract:

3/3 -2/3 .

We subtract the top number and leave the one at the bottom the same.

3-2 = 1

Then we have 1/3.

As you took one away from the 5, it becomes a 4 and you put back the left over, 1/3.

Then you answer will be :

4 1/3
