Answer 2

The number that should be subtracted from 5 to get 1 5/13 is 47/13.

Given - Number and result

Find - Number to be subtracted

Solution - Let the number to be subtracted be x. Forming the equation now -

$5 - x = 1 \frac{5}{13}$

Converting the result in fraction -

$\frac{(1 \times 13) + 5}{13}$

Fraction = $\frac{13 + 5}{13}$

Fraction= $\frac{18}{13}$

So, rewriting the fraction -

$5 - x = \frac{18}{13}$

$x = 5 - \frac{18}{13}$

$x = \frac{(13 \times 5) - 18}{13}$

$x = \frac{65 - 18}{13}$

$x = \frac{47}{13}$

$x = 3.62$

Hence, 47/13 should be subtracted from 5 to get 1 5/13.
