How to solve 7 1/3 minus 5 5/6

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First get rid of the 7 or 5 outside of the fractions.

So 7 1/3 becomes 22/3 and 5 5/6 becomes 35/6

Then make them into the same denominator so 22/3 becomes 44/6.

Then minus the numerator.

So 44-35=9.

And then 9/6 is the answer.

Just simplify to 3/2 or 1 1/2.
