Question

what is the decrease of 44 by 1/4?

Answer 1

Answer:

$44 - \frac{1}{4} \\ = \frac{176 - 1}{4} \\ = \frac{175}{4} \\ \boxed{ = \underline{ \underline{ 43 \frac{3}{4} }}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 of 44 is 11 because 11 x 4 (or 4 x 11) equals 44. Then we take it away from 44 sooo...

44 - 11 = 33

we take 11 away from 44 because we are decreasing 44 by 1/4

Deceasing is to make something smaller, so the answer MUST be smaller than the original number we started with.
