Question

POD Ms. Henry and Ms. Wilson Daly were asked to solve this problem. 3 1/4 minus 1%. Ms. Henry said the answer is 1 %.Ms. Wilson Daly said the answer is 2 5/3. Who is correct? How do you know?

Answer 1

Let's solve and then check the correct option

3 1/4 - 1%

3 1/4 - 1/100

13/4 - 1/100

`(325-1)/(100)`
`=(324)/(100)`

we can reduce the fraction

`=(81)/(25)`
`=\text{ 3}(6)/(25)`

None of them is correct
