I guess you're using 13 7/10 and 11

If you have to use fractions, then
turn them both into fractions

13 7/10 = (13*10+7)/10 = 137/10
11 = (11*10)/10= 110/10
(137 - 110) / 10 = 27 / 10

27 / 10 = 2 7/10

Otherwise, just subtact the whole numbers
13 7/10 - 11 = 13-11 +7/10 = 2 7/10

First, you need to convert your mixed numeral to an improper fraction:

10(13)+7=130+7=137 so it becomes 137/10-11

Next, you need to make 11 into a fraction - you do this by putting it over 1:

137/10-11/1

Now, you need to make both fractions have the same denominator. The easiest way to do this in this case is to multiply your 11/1 by 10/10 giving you:

110/10 which becomes 137/10-110/10

Now you can think of your equation as:

(137-110)/10

Do the subtraction contained in the numerator, and then put the fraction into simplest forms (which includes putting it back into a mixed numeral, if needed):

27/10 = 2 7/10

well first you take one away from the 11 and make that one into a fraction so u have 13 7/10 - 10 10/10 then u dont have enough w/ the 7/10 so u take one away from the 13 and get 12 17/10 - 10 10/10 and that would equal 2 7/10

...I'm not exactly sure what your fraction is...but I'm pretty sure this will be right.

1. Change 13 7/10 into a simpler fraction: 137/10 (13x10+7 over 10)
2. Change 11 into a fraction: 110/10
3. Then substract 110/10 from 137/10
4. You should get 27/10, which simplifies into 2 7/10

okay. first, you have to get something for the 7/10 to subtract, so you make the 11 into a 10, and make the equation read:

13 7/10
- 10 10/10
________

the reason why i said 10/10 is to make the denominators equal. now, i have to make it so that the top is bigger, so you make that whole number (13) and subtract 1 (12) and add the denominator to the numerator (10+1= 17/10) looking like this:

12 17/10

- 10 10/10
_________

then, you simply subtract, getting 2 7/10.

whats the 1.?
is this is the problem:13 7/10 -11?
if it is then:

you just subtract whole numbers.
13-11 then add the fraction
so answer would be 2 7/10

put a one under the eleven

then change the one to a 10 becuase you need common denominators

then times the 7 by 10

now subtract the 11 from the 70

and then put the 13 next to your answer.

if it needs to be turned into a proper fraction, then divide the numerator by the denominator

i wish i'm wisdom this properly. The question is 5 and 3/8 minus a million and seven/sixteen, is that precise? the finest way is to transform the blended numbers to fallacious fractions: As you suggested, you may have 5 5/sixteen - a million 7/sixteen = eighty 5/sixteen - 23/sixteen = sixty two/sixteen = 31/8 Convert it lower back to a blended huge sort 3 7/8 This internet site could desire to help you to undergo in concepts the thank you to paintings with fractions.

It's really easy!

Just convert it to a decimal. Like, 13 and 7/10 equals 13.7 . So do 13.7 - 11, and you get 2!
