Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
To solve \( 9 - 4\frac{1}{4} \) (which means 4 wholes and 1 fourth), first convert the mixed number \( 4\frac{1}{4} \) into an improper fraction:

1. **Convert to an improper fraction**:
\[
4\frac{1}{4} = 4 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{16}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{17}{4}
\]

2. **Make 9 a fraction**:
\[
9 = \frac{36}{4}
\]

3. **Now subtract the two fractions**:
\[
\frac{36}{4} - \frac{17}{4} = \frac{36 - 17}{4} = \frac{19}{4}
\]

4. **Convert back to a mixed number**:
\[
\frac{19}{4} = 4\frac{3}{4}
\]

So, \( 9 - 4\frac{1}{4} = 4\frac{3}{4} \).
