Question

Can someone explain to me adding and subtracting mixed numbers

Answer 1

Explanation:

So first, you turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions. Then you change the denominators to the same number. Finally, you add or subtract.

Example:

4 1/5- 2 1/2= 21/5- 5/2=42/10-25/10=17/10=1 7/10
