Question

What should be subtracted from 10 m to get 8whole 8/15
m?
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here’s another approach to this problem

Start out with 10 - 3 3/4 since

10 minus 3 3/4 is equal to what number ?

is an equivalent to the question

10 minus what number is equal to 3 3/4?

Think of “is” as “=”

and “what number” as “x” (your unknown number).

Convert 10 to 9 4/4 since any number divided by itself ( a number over itself a/a) is equal to 1.

Subtract

9 4/4

-3 3/4

_———-

6 1/4

You can do this because

9 - 3 is 6 and 4/4 - 3/4 is 1/4.

So x = 6 1/4.

Your answer should look like this:

x = 10 - 3 3/4

x = 9 4/4 - 3 3/4

x = 6 1/4
