Question

Allison measures some artwork for framing. The first picture is 9 3/4 inches long and the second is 7 1/4 inches long. What is the difference in length of the art?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 2/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the first picture is 9 3/4 and the second is 7 1/4. You have to subtract to find the answer.

Ex:

5 - 1 2/4 = ?

First lets turn five in to a fraction 5 -> 5/1

Now lets turn one and a half into an improper fraction 1 2/4 -> 6/4

We can now subtract easily!
