The answer would be that 100 = 767/100 because you subtract the numbers at the end

Answer: 7 3/4 - 2/25 = 767/100 = 7 67/100 = 7.67

Explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 7 3/4

to a improper fraction: 7 3/4 = 7 3/4 = 7 · 4 + 3/4= 28 + 3/4 = 31/4

To find a new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 7 by the denominator 4. Whole number 7 equally 7 * 4/4 = 28/4

b) Add the answer from previous step 28 to the numerator 3. New numerator is 28 + 3 = 31

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 31) over the denominator 4.

Seven and three quarters is thirty-one quarters

Subtract: 31/4 - 2/25= 31 · 25/4 · 25 - 2 · 4/25 · 4 = 775/100 - 8/100 = 775 - 8/

100 = 767/100
