Question

1 3/4 - (-2/3)

Answer 1

That is not a choice

Answer 2

It has to have a reminder

Answer 3

To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. Let's find the common denominator between 4 and 3, which is 12.

So, we need to rewrite 1 3/4 and -2/3 with the denominator of 12:

1 3/4 = (4*1 + 3)/4 = 7/4

-2/3 = (-3*-2)/3 = 6/3

Now, we can subtract them:

7/4 - 6/3

To subtract fractions, we need the same denominator (12). Let's convert both fractions to have a denominator of 12.

7/4 * 3/3 = 21/12

6/3 * 4/4 = 24/12

Now, we can subtract:

21/12 - 24/12 = -3/12

Simplifying the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 3:

-3/12 = -1/4

Therefore, 1 3/4 - (-2/3) = -1/4.

Answer 4

Apologies for the error. Let's recalculate the subtraction:

1 3/4 - (-2/3)

To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. The common denominator between 4 and 3 is 12.

1 3/4 = 4(1) + 3 = 4/4 + 3/4 = 7/4

-2/3 = -8/12 (multiplied the numerator and denominator by 4 to get a denominator of 12)

Now, we can subtract:

7/4 - (-8/12) = 7/4 + 8/12

To add fractions, we need the same denominator:

7/4 + 8/12 = (7*3)/(4*3) + 8/12 = 21/12 + 8/12

Combining the fractions:

21/12 + 8/12 = 29/12

So, 1 3/4 - (-2/3) = 29/12.

Answer 5

Apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate the subtraction again, this time with a remainder.

1 3/4 - (-2/3)

To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. The common denominator between 4 and 3 is 12.

1 3/4 = 4(1) + 3 = 4/4 + 3/4 = 7/4

-2/3 = -8/12 (multiplied the numerator and denominator by 4 to get a denominator of 12)

Now, we can subtract:

7/4 - (-8/12) = 7/4 + 8/12

To add fractions, we need the same denominator:

7/4 + 8/12 = (7*3)/(4*3) + 8/12 = 21/12 + 8/12

Combining the fractions:

21/12 + 8/12 = 29/12

Since 29 is greater than 12, we have a remainder. To express the result as a mixed number, we can divide the numerator by the denominator:

29 ÷ 12 = 2, with a remainder of 5

Therefore, 1 3/4 - (-2/3) = 2 5/12.
