Question

1. Subtract and reduce to lowest terms: 3 5/6 - 2 3/4

Answer 1

$3\frac{5}{6}-2\frac{3}{4}$

we need to convert all to fractions

$\frac{23}{6}-\frac{11}{4}$

then we need to have the same denominiator, the common factor between 6 and 4 is 12

$\frac{46}{12}-\frac{33}{12}=\frac{13}{12}$

the result is 13/12
