Subtract. 4 1/3 − 8

Answer 1

Answer:

$\dashrightarrow \: { \tt{4 \frac{1}{3} - 8 }}$

• first express the mixed fraction into an improper fraction:

$\dashrightarrow \: { \tt{ \frac{(3 \times 4) + 1}{3} - 8}} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: { \tt{ \frac{13}{3} - \frac{8}{1} }}$

• Find the L.C.M of 3 and 1, L.C.M is 3:

$\dashrightarrow \: { \tt{ \frac{13 - (3 \times 8)}{3} }} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: { \tt{ \frac{13 - 24}{3} }} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: { \tt{ - \frac{11}{3} }} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: { \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{ \: \: - 3 \frac{2}{3} }}}}$

Answer 2

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 4\dfrac{1}{3}-8$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{3(4)+1}{3}-8$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{12+1}{3}-8$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{13}{3}-8$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{13-24}{3}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{-11}{3}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto -3\dfrac{2}{3}$
