Question

6 2/4- 2 2/5=?
Reduce if needed

Answer 1

Answer: 4&1/10ths

Explanation:

`6(1)/(2) -2(2)/(5) \\\\ (6*2+1)/(2) -2(2)/(5) \\\\(13)/(2) -2(2)/(5)\\\\(13)/(2)-(2*5+2)/(5) \\\\(13)/(2)-(12)/(5) \\\\`

Find the LCD=10 then make the denominators the same as the LCD.

`(13*5)/(2*5) (12*2)/(5*2) \\\\(64)/(10) -(24)/(10) \\\\(65-24)/(10) \\\\(41)/(10)=4 (1)/(10)`

Hope this helps, HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great Superbowl Weekend! :-)

Answer 2

4 1/10

Step by-step explanation:

First simplify 6 1/2 - 2 2/5

Second: make them improper fractions:

13/2 - 12/5

Then find the common denominator, which would be 10.

65/10 - 24/10 = 41/10

Now simplify

4 1/10
