Evaluate: 4 1/2 - 2 - 5 2/3=

Answer 1

To evaluate this expression, we need to simplify each of the fractions and then subtract the numbers.

First, let's simplify the mixed fraction 4 1/2. To do this, we multiply the whole number, 4, by the denominator, 2, which gives us 8. Then, add the numerator, 1, to get 9. Rewrite this as a fraction with the same denominator: 9/2.

Next, let's simplify the mixed fraction 5 2/3. Following a similar process, we multiply the whole number, 5, by the denominator, 3, which gives us 15. Then, add the numerator, 2, to get 17. Rewrite this as a fraction with the same denominator: 17/3.

Now we can subtract these two fractions:
9/2 - 17/3.

To be able to subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator of 2 and 3 is 6.

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3 and the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by 2, we get:
(9/2) x (3/3) - (17/3) x (2/2)
27/6 - 34/6

Now, we can subtract the fractions:
27/6 - 34/6 = (27 - 34)/6 = -7/6

Thus, the evaluation is -7/6.

Answer 2

Evaluate: 4 1/2 - 2 - 5 2/3=
A -3 1/6
B 12 1/6
C 2 1/6
Or D -4 1/6

Answer 3

To evaluate this expression, we need to simplify each of the fractions and then subtract the numbers.

First, let's simplify the mixed fraction 4 1/2. To do this, we multiply the whole number, 4, by the denominator, 2, which gives us 8. Then, add the numerator, 1, to get 9. Rewrite this as a fraction with the same denominator: 9/2.

Next, let's simplify the mixed fraction 5 2/3. Following a similar process, we multiply the whole number, 5, by the denominator, 3, which gives us 15. Then, add the numerator, 2, to get 17. Rewrite this as a fraction with the same denominator: 17/3.

Now we can subtract these two fractions:
9/2 - 17/3.

To be able to subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator of 2 and 3 is 6.

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3 and the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by 2, we get:
(9/2) x (3/3) - (17/3) x (2/2)
27/6 - 34/6

Now, we can subtract the fractions:
27/6 - 34/6 = (27 - 34)/6 = -7/6

Thus, the evaluation is -7/6, which is equivalent to -1 1/6.

Therefore, the correct option is D) -4 1/6.

Answer 4

WRONG TRY AGAIN

Answer 5

Apologies for the error in my previous response. Let's evaluate the expression correctly:

To subtract mixed fractions, we first need to convert them into improper fractions.

4 1/2 can be written as (4 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 9/2

Similarly, 5 2/3 can be written as (5 * 3 + 2) / 3 = 17/3

Now, we can calculate the expression:

9/2 - 2 - 17/3

To subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator of 2 and 3 is 6.

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of 9/2 by 3 and the numerator and denominator of 17/3 by 2, we get:

(9/2) x (3/3) - 2 x (3/3) - (17/3) x (2/2)
27/6 - 6/6 - 34/6

Now, we can subtract the fractions:

27/6 - 6/6 - 34/6 = (27 - 6 - 34) / 6 = -13/6

Therefore, the correct answer is -13/6, which can be simplified to -2 1/6.

So, the correct option is A) -3 1/6.

Answer 6

7.829 − 3.21

Answer 7

To subtract decimal numbers, align the decimal points and then subtract the numbers as you would with whole numbers.

In this case, we have:

7.829
- 3.21
_________


Aligning the decimal points, we have:

7.829
- 3.210
_________

Now, subtract the numbers as you would with whole numbers:

7.829
- 3.210
_________
4.619

Therefore, 7.829 - 3.21 = 4.619.

Answer 8

Evaluate this expression.

75.5 − 32.55

Answer 9

To evaluate the expression 75.5 - 32.55, subtract the numbers as you would with whole numbers after aligning the decimal points.

75.50
- 32.55
_________
42.95

Therefore, 75.5 - 32.55 = 42.95.
