Answer 3

Subtract..first we can convert into improper fractions..

\(6\dfrac{1}{6} \rightarrow \dfrac{37}{6}\)

\(5 \dfrac{3}{4} \rightarrow \dfrac{23}{4}\)

Now we have to change them to like denominators..

\(\dfrac{37}{6} \rightarrow \dfrac{37 \times 2}{6 \times 2} \rightarrow \dfrac{74}{12}\)

\(\dfrac{23}{4} \rightarrow \dfrac{23 \times 3}{4 \times 3} \rightarrow \dfrac{69}{12}\)

So we have:

\(\dfrac{74}{12} - \dfrac{69}{12} \rightarrow \dfrac{74-69}{12}\)

Answer 4

so 5/12
