Question

Can someone help me answer this it got my really stuck and confused

Answer 1

1 2/3

Explanation:

4 1/2

We are getting a common denominator of 6

4 1/2 *3/3 = 4 3/6

Then we borrow 1 from the 4 but with a common denominator of 6

1 = 6/6

4 1/2 = 4 3/6 = 3 +6/6+3/6 = 3 9/6

we subtract 2 5/6 from this number

4 1/2 = 4 3/6 = 3 9/6

2 5/6 2 5/6 2 5/6

---------------------------------------

1 4/6

We can simplify

1 2/3
