Answer:


(24)/(10) - (13)/(10) =
(24-13)/(10) = (11)/(10)


Step-by-step explanation:

Before we begin, remember the following:


a(b)/(c) = (ac + b)/(c)


(a)/(b) + (c)/(b) = (a+c)/(b)


Now, for the given:

Let's take each term on its own:

24 tenths means
(24)/(10)

1 and 3 tenths means
1(3)/(10) = (13)/(10)


The complete expression is:


(24)/(10) - (13)/(10)


We can solve it as follows:


(24)/(10) - (13)/(10) =
(24-13)/(10) = (11)/(10)


Hope this helps :)

To find 24 tenths - 1 and 3 tenths, you need to convert the mixed number 1 and 3 tenths into a fraction. 1 and 3 tenths = 1/1 + 3/10. To add these fractions, find a common denominator by multiplying both the numerator and denominator of 1/1 by 10. Thus, 1 and 3 tenths = 10/10 + 3/10 = 13/10. Now you can subtract 24/10 - 13/10 by subtracting the numerators to find the correct answer: 24/10 - 13/10 = 11/10, or 1 and 1 tenth.
