Question

The length of Carl's hair was 9 3/4 inches. After his hair cut, the length was 6 1/2 inches . How many inches did he cut?

Answer 1

Answer: 3 1/4 inches

Explanation:

9 3/4 - 6 1/2

I turned 6 1/2 into an easier fraction so it can be easier to subtract. Now the expression is:

9 3/4 - 6 2/4

6 2/4 is equivalent to 6 1/2

I then got 3 1/4
