Question

1. I am completely missing something here plz help:
What is the result of subtracting 1 1/2 from the sum of 4 2/3 and 5 2/5?

2. Evaluate.
3 1/6 + 8 2/9 - 1 1/2

Answer 1

Easier way is to put in an equation:
\[(4\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }-5\frac{ 2 }{ 5 })-1\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 2

I thought "and" meant to multiply.

Answer 3

I couldn't quite get you there.

Answer 4

Well theres two questions.
1. What is the result of subtracting 1 1/2 from the sum of 4 2/3 and 5 2/5?
2. Evaluate. 3 1/6 + 8 2/9 - 1 1/2

Answer 5

"the sum of A and B" means A+B
"the product of A and B" means A*B

A sum needs two arguments. It's just listing them.

Answer 6

I don't really get your problem. Are you supposed to add the result of A and B or find the product of A and B?

Answer 7

The questions on the page is exactly how I typed them. I'm trying to help my son with his 5th grade math homework, and for some reason, the answer I am coming up with is not right or it is and I'm not certain. Its been a very long time since I done this kind of math.

Answer 8

Okay i will try to do questions 1 and 2. lets see if we match or not.
