Derek threw the football 36 2/3 yards during Tuesday's game. The next play he threw the football 2 5/6 yards less. How far was his second pass thrown?

Question

33?

Answer 1

No.

36 2/3 = 35 5/3 = 35 10/6

Subtract 2 5/6 from 35 10/6

Answer 2

How do you figure out 36 2/3=35 5/3 and how does 35 5/3= 35 10/6?

Answer 3

I found out how 36 2/3=35 5/3 but how does it equal 35 10/6

Answer 4

I borrowed 3/3 from 36 to get 35.

35 5/3

We need to find a common denominator so I multiplied the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 35 10/6

Answer 5

The answer is 33 5/6?

Answer 6

Right. :-)
