Question

5 6/13 - 2; 2 3/14 - 1

Answer 1

5 6/13 - 2=3 6/13;

2 3/14 - 1=1 3/14

Answer 2

To solve the given expressions, we'll first deal with the subtraction of mixed numbers:

1. 5 6/13 - 2: To subtract mixed numbers, we need to ensure that both numbers have the same whole number part and the same fractional part.

5 6/13 can be rewritten as an improper fraction: (5 * 13 + 6) / 13 = 71/13.

Now, the expression becomes: 71/13 - 2.

To subtract, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator here is 13, so we get:

(71 - 2 * 13) / 13 = (71 - 26) / 13 = 45/13.

So, 5 6/13 - 2 equals 45/13.

2. 2 3/14 - 1: Follow the same process as above.

2 3/14 can be rewritten as an improper fraction: (2 * 14 + 3) / 14 = 31/14.

Now, the expression becomes: 31/14 - 1.

Again, we find a common denominator, which is 14:

(31 - 1 * 14) / 14 = (31 - 14) / 14 = 17/14.

So, 2 3/14 - 1 equals 17/14.

To summarize:

1. 5 6/13 - 2 = 45/13
2. 2 3/14 - 1 = 17/14
