Question

Divide 8 1/2 by the positive difference 4 4/5 and 7 7/10​

Answer 1

• 2 27/29

Explanation:

The positive difference is the result of subtraction of the smaller number from the greater number.

The positive difference of 4 4/5 and 7 7/10 is:

• 7 7/10 - 4 4/5 =
• 77/10 - 48/10 =
• 29/10

Now division:

• 8 1/2 : 29/10 =
• 17/2 * 10/29 =
• 85/29 =
• 2 27/29

Answer 2

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 8(1)/(2)/ \left(4(4)/(5)-7(7)/(10)\right)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto (17)/(2)/ \left((24)/(5)-(77)/(10)\right)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto (17)/(2)/\left((48-77)/(10)\right)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto (17)/(2)/ \left((29)/(10)\right)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto (17)/(2)* (10)/(29)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto (17(10))/(2(29))`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto (170)/(58)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto (85)/(29)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 2(27)/(29)`
