Question

2 2/7 – 1 1/3 =

Answer 1

Hint:

(2 - 1) + (2/7 - 1/3)

Ideally, you want to subtract the whole numbers separately and subtract the fractions separately.

Answer 2

So first, I would set up to combine the first and second fractions:

(2 - 1) + (6/21 - 7/21)

However the first fraction is smaller than the second fraction, so I can't subtract yet.

Answer 3

I have to borrow 1 = 21/21 from the whole numbers and add it to the first fraction to get:

(1 - 1) + (27/21 - 7/21)
