Answer:
71/12 = 5 11/12
Explanation:
To solve this equation you first have to put the whole number with fraction (mixed number) and convert it into an improper fraction. To do this you have to multiply the whole number by the denominator which is 6 x 2 and you'd get 12 but then you still have the numerator so then you add your answer with the numerator and you'd get 12+1 which is 13. So your improper fraction is 13/2.
Now you set up your equation and you'd subtract. But your denominators are not the same so you have to figure out and find the common denominator. Which is 12. So then for 13/2 you'd multiply both of them by 6 and you'd get 78/12. And the 2nd one you'd multiply it by 1 getting 7/12.
Once you get to this point now you can properly set up the equation and subtract. You'd subtract 78/12 - 7/12 getting 71/12 or if you want it as a mixed number (whole number with fraction) then it is 5 11/12.
