the answer of 1st Q is Exact Form:
19
6
Decimal Form:
3.1
¯
6
Mixed Number Form:
3
1
6
ok but what choice from these ?
Extrinix:
Ok, so to solve this, you need to convert them into improper fractions and then find similar denominators, it would look like this:
\(5\dfrac{3}{6}\)-\(2\dfrac{1}{3}\)
Improper fractions:
\(\dfrac{5 \times 6 + 3}{6}\) - \(\dfrac{2 \times 3 + 1}{3}\)
This gets you:
\(\dfrac{33}{6}\) - \(\dfrac{7}{3}\)
Now we need to find a common denominator, so how many times can 3 go into 6? 2 times.
It would look like this:
\(\dfrac{33}{6}\) - \(\dfrac{14}{6}\)
So just solve it,
\(\dfrac{33}{6}\) - \(\dfrac{14}{6}\) = \(\dfrac{19}{6}\)
Which, when converted looks like:
\(\dfrac{19}{6}\) = \(3\dfrac{1}{6}\)

ok but this result not is there between given choices
Extrinix:
Oh, I see where I messed up, one moment.
jhonyy9:
np just look please what choice correspond to your result
jhonyy9:
@extrinix your result is right just look please what choice correspond with your result
jhonyy9:
have you get it ?

\[3\frac{ 3 }{ 18 } = ?\]
the last one choice
Extrinix:
Ohhh okay, so basically just multiply it got it,
\(\dfrac{3}{6} \times \dfrac{1}{3}\)
Which would give you
\(\dfrac{3}{18}\)
Then separately you would do 5-2 which would give you,
\(3\dfrac{3}{18}\)
Yeah I was never taught to separate out the whole numbers, I was taught to convert it to an improper fraction...

no you dont multiplie nothing
subtract the whole parts
5-2 = 3
and subtract the fraction parts
\[\frac{ 3 }{ 6 }-\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } = \frac{ (9-6) }{ 18 }= \frac{ 3 }{ 18 }\]
but idk why in this way bc. 6 is common denominator for 6 and 3 ?
