Answer 21

which one worked?

Answer 22

actually the answer i put in the question 23/4 which you also gave me.

Answer 23

First, reduce the fraction:
6 - 3/12 = 6 - 1/4 = 6/1 - 1/4
Now find a common denominator: the LCD of 1 and 4 is 4
24/4 - 1/4 = 23/4 = 5 3/4

Answer 24

oh, so why didn't it work the first time?

Answer 25

how odd

Answer 26

i thought i would only have to go 23/4 but you can reduce that to 5 3/4

Answer 29
