d) 4/3

Answer 1

To subtract 3.3/5 from 1.10, we express both numbers as fractions with a common denominator and subtract them, simplifying the result to get 11/25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires adding fractions with the specific operation 1.10 - 3.3/5. To find the solution, we must first express all numbers as fractions and find a common denominator if necessary. Starting with 1.10, which is already in fraction form as 11/10, we must consider the term 3.3/5. Since 3.3 is equivalent to 33/10, we express 3.3/5 as (33/10) / (5/1). Simplifying, we multiply by the reciprocal giving us 33/10 × 1/5 = 33/50.

Now, we need to subtract this value from 11/10. However, to perform this subtraction, we need a common denominator. Multiplying both the numerator and denominator of 11/10 by 5 gives us 55/50. We can now subtract: 55/50 - 33/50 = 22/50, which simplifies to 11/25.

By understanding that adding and subtracting fractions requires a common denominator, and further simplifying the result, we effectively solve the problem.
