Answer 4

To subtract mixed numbers, you need to convert them into improper fractions.

2 and three-fifths can be written as 2 + 3/5 = 10/5 + 3/5 = 13/5

1 and one-fourth can be written as 1 + 1/4 = 4/4 + 1/4 = 5/4

Now you can subtract the fractions:

13/5 - 5/4

To find a common denominator, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 4, which is 20.

Now you can rewrite the fractions with the common denominator:

(13/5) x (4/4) - (5/4) x (5/5) = 52/20 - 25/20

Subtract the fractions:

52/20 - 25/20 = (52 - 25)/20 = 27/20

So, 2 and three-fifths minus 1 and one-fourth equals 27/20.

Answer: 27/20

Answer 5

Apologies for the mistake. Let's go through the calculation again.

2 and three-fifths can be written as 2 + 3/5 = 10/5 + 3/5 = 13/5.

1 and one-fourth can be written as 1 + 1/4 = 4/4 + 1/4 = 5/4.

Now we can subtract the fractions:

13/5 - 5/4.

To find a common denominator, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 4, which is 20.

Now we can rewrite the fractions with the common denominator:

(13/5)*(4/4) - (5/4)*(5/5) = 52/20 - 25/20.

Subtract the fractions:

52/20 - 25/20 = (52 - 25)/20 = 27/20.

So, the correct answer is indeed 27/20.
