Question

what is the difference between 9 5/8 and 7 13/16 I need help ASAP with work explanation because of paper and my brain won't compute anything The last problem of the work sheet

Answer 1

Answer is 1 13/16

Step by step

Difference means to subtract

9 5/8 minus 7 13/16

Change the first fraction so the denominator is the same as the second (16)

5/8 = 10/16

Now we have

9 10/16 - 7 13/16

Since we can’t subtract 13 from 10, we have to borrow a whole number from 9, and call it 16/16. Add 16/16 to 10/16 now we have 26/16.

8 26/16 - 7 13/16
Subtract

= 1 13/16
