Question

Alex is solving 7 5/10-1 6/10 what is the correct result

Answer 1

To subtract fractions, you must have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 10.

7 5/10 - 1 6/10 can be written as (7 + 5/10) - (1 + 6/10)

Adding the mixed numbers: 7 + 1 = 8.

Now subtract the fractions: 5/10 - 6/10 = -1/10.

So the result is 8 - 1/10.
