Answer 2

Given,

Four mixed fractions: 3 5/9, 3 1/3, 5 5/6, and 4 1/9

To find,

The difference between the sum of 3 5/9 and 3 1/3 from the sum of 5 5/6 and 4 1/9.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem using the following process:

Mathematically,

If a b/c is a mixed fraction, then its value is calculated as: (a×c + b)/c

{Statement-1}

Now, according to the question and statement-1;

The sum of 3 5/9 and 3 1/3

= 3 5/9 + 3 1/3

= (9×3 + 5)/9 + (3×3 + 1)/3

= (27+5)/9 + (9+1)/3

= 32/9 + 10/3 = 32/9 + 30/9 = 62/9

And, the sum of 5 5/6 and 4 1/9

= 5 5/6 + 4 1/9

= (6×5 + 5)/6 + (4×9 + 1)/9

= (30+5)/6 + (36+1)/9

= 35/6 + 37/9

= 105/18 + 74/18

= 179/18

So, the difference between the sum of 3 5/9 and 3 1/3 from the sum of 5 5/6 and 4 1/9

= (sum of 5 5/6 and 4 1/9) - (sum of 3 5/9 and 3 1/3)

= 179/18 - 62/9

= 179/18 - 124/9

= (179-124)/9

= 55/9

Hence, the difference between the sum of 3 5/9 and 3 1/3 from the sum of 5 5/6 and 4 1/9 is equal to 55/9.
