5 1/6 -3 5/18
answer is: 1 8/9 but i just don't know the steps

Answer 1

first you have to simplify the fraction.

Answer 2

like convert the mixed number? and simplify that?

Answer 3

Yes, exactly like that. :)

Answer 4

ok the answer is supposed to be 1 8/9 but i don't understand how it gets to that after simplifying? thank you!

Answer 5

Thats when you subtract so that you can convert back to get your answer.

Answer 6

so like 31/6 - 59/18 and then multiply the 31 and 6 by 3 to get the same denominator of 18 and then you get 93/18 and subtract that from 59/18?

Answer 7

Yep
