bot what is the difference of 5 1/4 and 1 3/4 (mixed numbers)

Answer 1

To find the difference between 5 1/4 and 1 3/4, we need to subtract the two mixed numbers.

First, let's convert both mixed numbers into improper fractions:
5 1/4 = 5 + 1/4 = 20/4 + 1/4 = 21/4

1 3/4 = 1 + 3/4 = 4/4 + 3/4 = 7/4

Now, we subtract the fractions:
21/4 - 7/4 = (21 - 7)/4 = 14/4 = 7/2

So, the difference between 5 1/4 and 1 3/4 is equal to 7/2.
