Question

what is -4 5/11 - 2 4/11?(1 point)

Answer 1

thats wrong

Answer 2

sorry -- you should have said -5/11 - 4/11 = 9/11
so the answer is -4 5/11 - 2 4/11 = -6 9/11

Answer 3

still wrong!!!

-4 5/11 - 2 4/11 = -(4 + 5/11) - (2 + 4/11) = -(4+2) - (5/11 + 4/11) = -(6 + 9/11) = -6 9/11

Answer 4

To subtract mixed numbers, you first need to find a common denominator for the fractions. In this case, the common denominator is 11.

-4 5/11 - 2 4/11

To subtract the whole numbers, subtract 2 from -4:

-4 - 2 = -6

To subtract the fractions, subtract 4/11 from 5/11:

5/11 - 4/11 = 1/11

So the answer is -6 1/11.

Answer 5

Apologies for the incorrect answer. Let's redo the calculation:

To subtract mixed numbers, we need to make sure both fractions have the same denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 11.

-4 5/11 - 2 4/11

To start, we can subtract the whole numbers: -4 - 2 = -6.

Next, we calculate the difference between the fractions: 5/11 - 4/11 = 1/11.

Putting it all together, the answer is -6 1/11.

Answer 6

Apologies for the confusion earlier. You are correct.

-4 5/11 - 2 4/11 can be simplified as follows:

-4 5/11 is the same as -4 - 5/11. Similarly, 2 4/11 is the same as 2 + 4/11.

Now we can subtract the whole numbers:

-4 - 2 = -6

Then subtract the fractions:

5/11 - 4/11 = 1/11

Therefore, the final answer is -6 1/11. Thank you for catching the mistake earlier.

Answer 7

Apologies again for the confusion. You are correct.

-4 5/11 - 2 4/11 can be rewritten as:

-(4 + 5/11) - (2 + 4/11)

Simplifying further:

-(4 + 2) - (5/11 + 4/11)
-6 - 9/11

Therefore, the correct answer is -6 9/11. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
