Alex is solving 7 5/10 − 1 6/10 . What is the correct result?

Answer 1

To subtract mixed numbers, the whole numbers and fractions need to be separated.

7 - 1 = 6

The fractions are 5/10 and 6/10. Since the denominators are the same, we subtract the numerators:

5 - 6 = -1

Combining the whole numbers and fractions, the result is:

6 - 1/10

Therefore, the correct result is 6 - 1/10.
