Question

Find the difference 22 3/5 from 79 3/16

Answer 1

The difference is $56\frac{47}{80}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two numbers are:

$x=22\frac{3}{5}\; \; \; ,\ y=79\frac{3}{16}$

Compute the value of x - y as follows:

$x-y=22\frac{3}{5}-79\frac{3}{16}$

        $=\frac{113}{5}-\frac{1267}{16}$

        $=\frac{1808-6335}{80}$

        $=\frac{4527}{80}$

        $=56\frac{47}{80}$

Thus, the difference is $56\frac{47}{80}$.
