To subtract 6/7 from 2 1/4, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 7 and 4 is 28, so we can convert 2 1/4 to 9/4 and 6/7 to 24/28. Then we can subtract:
9/4 - 24/28
= 63/28 - 24/28
= 39/28
Therefore, 2 1/4 - 6/7 = 39/28.
To solve for the blank in 2 5/12 - blank = 2/3, we can start by converting 2 5/12 to an improper fraction:
2 5/12 = (2*12 + 5)/12 = 29/12
Then we can subtract 2/3 from both sides:
2 5/12 - 2/3 = blank
To subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3 and 12 is 12, so we can convert 2/3 to 8/12. Then we can subtract:
29/12 - 8/12
= 21/12
= 7/4
Therefore, the blank in 2 5/12 - blank = 2/3 is 7/4.
To subtract 5 3/8 from 7 1/12, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 12 is 24, so we can convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions:
7 1/12 = (712 + 1)/12 = 85/12
5 3/8 = (58 + 3)/8 = 43/8
Then we can subtract:
85/12 - 43/8
= 85/12 - (433)/(83)
= 85/12 - 129/24
= 5/24
Therefore, 7 1/12 - 5 3/8 = 5/24.
To solve for the blank in blank + 7/10 = 2 9/20, we can start by converting 2 9/20 to an improper fraction:
2 9/20 = (2*20 + 9)/20 = 49/20
Then we can subtract 7/10 from both sides:
blank + 7/10 - 7/10 = 49/20 - 7/10
Simplifying the right side:
49/20 - 7/10 = (492)/(202) - (74)/(104) = 98/40 - 28/40 = 70/40 = 7/4
Therefore, blank + 7/10 - 7/10 = 7/4, and solving for blank:
blank = 7/4
Therefore, the blank in blank + 7/10 = 2 9/20 is 7/4.
