Question

Subtract 2 3/4 - 5/16

Answer 1

2 7/16

Explanation:

2 3/4 - 5/16 → 11/4 - 5/16 (convert 2 3/4 into an improper or top-heavy fraction)

11/4 - 5/16 → 44/16 - 5/16 (multiply 11/4 by 4/4 to make a common denominator)

44/16 - 5/16 = 39/16 (Subtract 44 - 5 = 39)

Simplify (convert back into mixed number)

39/16 = 2 7/16
