Question

7 4/5 - 3/5

Answer 1

Do you know how to make 7 and 4/5 into a improper fraction?

Answer 2

no.

Answer 3

Ok, well we can do this another way without making it improper. I can teach you that later if you want?

Ok so let's just put aside the 7 for now and let's look at \(\dfrac{4}{5}\) - \(\dfrac{3}{5}\)

Let's remember that

\(\dfrac{4}{5}\) - \(\dfrac{3}{5}\) = \(\dfrac{4-3}{5}\)

Answer 4

What is 4 - 3?

Answer 5

1

Answer 6

Right! So

\(\dfrac{4}{5}\) - \(\dfrac{3}{5}\) = \(\dfrac{1}{5}\)

Now bringing back all the whole numbers, which was only 7, we just plop it on there to get \(7 \dfrac{1}{5}\)
