Question

subtract 2 1/5from -3 1/6​

Answer 1

☆ANSWER:

☞Given:

$2\frac{1}{5} - 3 \frac{1}{6}$

☞A.T.Q:

$2 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{11}{5}$

$3 \frac{1}{6} = \frac{19}{6}$

Therefore:

$\frac{11}{5} - \frac{19}{6}$

We first find the LCM of the denominators which are 5 and 6.

The LCM is 30.

So:

→$\frac{66 - 95}{30}$

→$\frac{ - 29}{30}$ (Ans)

Answer 2

Answer:

The difference is $-5\frac{1}{30}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been mentioned here two fractions. One of them is $2 \frac{1}{5}$ and the other one is$-3 \frac{1}{6}$ . We have to find their difference. For this, we will first convert them to an improper fraction and then find the difference after making their denominators equal by using lcm. Therefore we have,

$-3\frac{1}{6} - 2\frac{1}{5}$

= $\frac{-3(6) + 1}{6} - \frac{2(5) + 1}{5}$

= $\frac{-17}{6} - \frac{11}{5}$

Therefore the LCM of 6 and 5 is 30

= $\frac{-17(5)}{30} - \frac{11(6)}{30}$

= $\frac{-85-66}{30}$

= $\frac{-151}{30}$

= $-5\frac{1}{30}$

Therefore the answer is $-5\frac{1}{30}$
