Question

Q- 7 5/6 = 6 1/2 is -1/4?

Answer 1

\[Q - 7 \frac{5}{6} = 6 \frac{1}{2}\]
\[Q = 6 \frac{1}{2} + 7 \frac{5}{6}\]

Answer 2

I am confused on how I would solve this

Answer 3

Its the top 1

Answer 4

@ellie67, the "bottom one" is what you get when you add seven and five-sixths to both sides. In order to solve this, you have to isolate Q.

Answer 5

Which means, in order to solve this, you have to add both fractions together.

Answer 6

so isolate Q add both factions would that make it 121/2?

Answer 7

If you add correctly you get:

\[6 + \frac{3}{6} + 7 + \frac{5}{6}\]
\[=(6 + 7) + \left(\frac{3}{6} + \frac{5}{6}\right)\]
\[=13 + \frac{8}{6}\]
\[=13 + \frac{6}{6} + \frac{2}{6}\]
\[=13 + 1 + \frac{1}{3}\]
\[=14 + \frac{1}{3}\]
\[=14 \frac{1}{3}\]
