Answer 2

36/35 or 1 1/35 has to be reduced the from the first number to get the second one

Given

• mixed fraction 3 13/35
• 2 12/35

To find

• the number which should be subtracted from the former to get the second one.

Solution

we are provided with the two mixed fractions and are asked to find the number that should be reduced from the first number so as to obtain the second one

converting the mixed fractions to improper,

3 13/35 = 118/35

2 12/35 = 82/35

the first mixed fraction minus second mixed fraction could be now written as,

118/35 - 82/35

or, (118-82)/35

or, 36/35

or, 36/35

or, 1 1/35

Therefore, 36/35 or 1 1/35 has to be reduced the from the first number to get the second one
