Answer:

2.3 (decimal form)

Explanation:

Convert 4 1/2 and 2 1/5 into improper fractions.

4 1/2 -> 9/2, 2 1/5 -> 11/5

Then you subtract, find the LCD (Least Common Denominator) and then you can combine.

Decimal form of answer: 2.3

Exact form of answer: 23/10

Mixed number form: 2 3/10

Any of those work! ⬆
