Subtract. 3 1/3 - 1 2/3?

Answer 1

3 1 - 1 2 3 3 In 3 1 , multiply the whole number, ' 3 ', by the denominator of the fraction, ' 3 ' to get ' 9 '. This shows that the whole number represents 9 . 3 3 To find the numerator when this mixed number is shown as an improper fraction, use addition. 9 + 1 = 10 3 3 3 In 1 2 , multiply the whole number, ' 1 ', by the denominator of the fraction, ' 3 ' to get ' 3 '. This shows that the whole number represents 3 . 3 3 To find the numerator when this mixed number is shown as an improper fraction, use addition. 3 + 2 = 5 3 3 3 The addition is now simpler because the whole numbers have been eliminated, leaving only two fractions.10 - 5 3 3 Subtract the numerators.5 3 Divide the numerator, '5' by the denominator, '3', to get 1 with remainder 2. The remainder is the new numerator. The quotient, '1', becomes the whole number in the mixed number.1 2/3
The resulting mixed number is:
1 2/3

Answer 2

2 2/3

Answer 3

10/3 - 5/3 = 5/3 = 1 2/3

Answer 4

5/3, or 1 2/3

Answer 5

Answer 6

(9/3+1/3) - (3/3+2/3) = (10 - 5)/3 = 5/3 = 1 2/3

Answer 7

answer 10/3 - 5/3 = 5/3 or 1 2/3

Answer 8

well, since they have the same fraction dinominator we can just add them like this but its easier if you turn it in to an improper fraction:

3 1/3 so into improper we do 3x3=9 then 9+1=10 so the

improper fraction is 10/3
( always the same dinominator)


now turn the other one into improper: 1 2/3 so improper

fraction is 3x1=3 then 3+2=5 so improper is 5/3



now we subtract them:

10/3 - 5/3 =




5/3=



1 2/3

Answer 9

1 and 2/3

10/3-5/3= 5/3 or 1 2/3

Answer 10
