Question

Can someone help me with my math homework I don't get it and can you please explain how you did it. Also only help me with the highlighter problems...

Answer 1

1) What you see as 3
`(3)/(8)` can be also changed to only a fraction, by changing
`(3)/(1)` to
`(24)/(8)`, but since the question wants 2 as a whole number, we must take out
`(24)/(8) = 2 (8)/(8)` and then add the 8 eights to the other 3, to get
`2 (11)/(8)`

for # 10- 13, you need to have the same number on the bottom of all the numbers being subtracted, that means turning the number that aren't fractions (like 4) into fraction, and then into fractions with the same denominators.

10)
`(4)/(1)` changes to
`(32)/(8)` to get
`(32)/(8) - (3)/(8) = (29)/(8)` or
`3(5)/(8)`

11)
`(5)/(1)` changes to
`(50)/(10)` , and
`2(3)/(10)` to
`(13)/(10)`to get
`(50)/(10)-(13)/(10)=(37)/(10)` or
`3(7)/(10)`
