Question

What is the difference of the fractions? Use the number line to help find the answer

Answer 1

-7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

`(1)/(2)-1(1)/(5)`

We can rewrite the expression as:

`(1)/(2)-(6)/(5)=(5)/(10)-(12)/(10)`

The number line showing the location of the two numbers is attached below. Therefore:

`(5)/(10)-(12)/(10)=-(7)/(10)`
