Question

What is the difference of the fractions? Use the number line to help find the answer. One-half minus 1 and one-fifth A number line going from negative 2 to positive 2 in increments of StartFraction 1 over 10 EndFraction Negative 1 and StartFraction 7 over 10 EndFraction Negative StartFraction 7 over 10 EndFraction StartFraction 7 over 10 EndFraction 1 and StartFraction 7 over 10 EndFraction

Answer 1

the answer is B

Explanation:

Answer 2

Negative StartFraction 7 over 10 EndFraction

Explanation:

Given the expression
`(1)/(2) - 1(1)/(5)`, we are to find the difference

First convert the mixed fraction
`1(1)/(5)` to improper fraction

`1(1)/(5)` =
`(6)/(5)`

The expression becomes;

`(1)/(2) - (6)/(5)`

Find LCM

`(5-6)/(10)`

Evaluate the resulting expression

`(5-12)/(10)\\\\(-7)/(10)`

Hence the correct option is C i.e Negative StartFraction 7 over 10 EndFraction
