What is 2 1 /4 - 6 1 /3?

Question

...................... i need a fraction answer please

Answer 1

- 4 and 1/12

(-4 1/12)

Answer 2

Ok so...

First, find a least common denominator, which in this case is 12.

So that would be 2 y/12 and 6 x/12
4 goes into 12 3 times, so you multiply 1*3 to get: 2 3/12

3 goes into 12 four times, so multiply 1*4 to get 6 4/12

So now our equation is: 2 3/12 - 6 4/12

Solve it now, by subtracting 2 3/12 from 6 4/12.

-4 1/12 is your answer. MAKE SURE YOU PUT IT DOWN AS NEGATIVE.

Please note you do NOT need to make is improper to solve. You subtract the fractions, and then the wholes.

Answer 3

2 1/4- 6 1/3
First you need to put both mixed numbers in to improper fractions; 9/4-19/3.
Now you need to find a common denominator(12), and get the common denominator on the bottom; 27/12-76/12.
Now subtract the 76 from the 27 and keep the common denominator; -49/12.
The answer is NEGATIVE 49/12.

Answer 4

Putting into improper fractions gives : 9/4- 19/3
common denominator gives : 27/12 - 76/12 = -49/ 12, which is -4 1/12. I hope you gave me the numbers correctly.

Answer 5

2 1/4-6 1/3
=9/4 -19/3
=(27-76)/12
= -49/12.
=-4 1/12.

Answer 6

(1/4)(3/3) = (1/4)(1),

and (1/3)(4/4) = (1/3)(1), so...

2 3/12 - 6 4/12 =

-4 + (3-4)/12 =

-4 1/12

Answer 7

2 1/4 - 6 1/3

= 9/4 - 19/3

= (9/4)(3/3) - (19/3)(4/4)

= 27/12 - 76/12

= (27-76)/12 = -49/12

= -4 1/12

Answer 8

= 9/4 - 19/3
= 27/12 - 76/12
= - 49 / 12
= - 4 1/12

Answer 9

Total fraction answer is: - 49/12
