Question

Find the difference of the following mixed fraction

$6\frac{2}{4}-\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

Step1:convert the mixed fractions into simple fractions:

$\begin{array}{rcl}6\frac{2}{4}& =& \frac{6\times 4+2}{4}\\ & =& \frac{26}{4}\\ \frac{3}{4}& =& \frac{3}{4}\end{array}$

Step2: Subtract the fractions:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\frac{26}{4}-\frac{3}{4}& =& \frac{26-3}{4}\\ & =& \frac{23}{4}\end{array}$

Convert the simple fractions into the mixed fraction:

After dividing $23$ by $4$ , Quotient will be $20$, divisor will be $4$ and reminder will be $3$

therefore mixed fraction becomes,

$\frac{23}{4}=5\frac{3}{4}$

hence after Subtraction both the fraction answer wiil be $\frac{23}{4}=5\frac{3}{4}$
