Question

What is 5 1/5 - 1 3/4

Answer 1

Answer: 69/20 or 3 9/20 or 3.45

Explanation:

5 1/5 =26/5

1 3/4= 7/4

You then need to make them the same denominator:

26/5 x 4/4= 104/20

7/4 x 5/5= 35/20

Now subtract

104/20 - 35/20= 69/20 or 3 9/20 or 3.45

Answer 2

5 1/5 - 1 1/3

=10/5 - 7/4

= (10/5 × 4/4) - (7/4 × 5/5)

= 40/20 - 35/20

= 5/20

= 1/4
