hold on one sec

Problem as entered: 0 6 - 0 10 1 7 7 is the common denominator for the fractions. 6 * 7 + 10 1 7 7 Now the fractions have the same denominators and the numerators can be subtracted. 42 - 10 7 7 Subtract the numerators. 32 7 Divide the numerator, '32' by the denominator, '7', to get 4 with remainder 4. The remainder is the new numerator. The quotient, '4', becomes the whole number in the mixed number. 4 4 7 The resulting mixed number is: 4 4 7

List the multiples of each denominator until a common number is found. Multiples of 1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Multiples of 7: 7 Now we know 7 is the least common denominator of 6/1 and 10/7.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We want the denominator of each fraction to be 7. But we can't change the denominator without changing the numerator too. To find the new numerator of each fraction, use this formula: (Common Denominator ÷ Denominator) x Numerator = New Numerator Plug in the values of the first fraction into the formula: (7 ÷ 1) × 6 = 42 Re-writing the first fraction, we get 42/7. Plug in the values of the second fraction into the formula: (7 ÷ 7) × 10 = 10 Re-writing the second fraction, we get 10/7.

Subtract the first numerator and the second numerator: 42 - 10 = 32 7 7 7
