Answer 1

To find the difference between 11 and 3 1/3, we need to subtract 3 1/3 from 11.

First, let's convert 11 to a fraction with the same denominator as 3 1/3, which is 3.

11 can be written as 33/3 because 11 divided by 1 is still 11, and dividing 33 by 3 gives us 11.

Now we have:

33/3 - 3 1/3

To subtract the fractions, we need to have the same denominator.

So, let's convert 3 to a fraction with the same denominator as 3/3, which is 3.

3 can be written as 9/3 because 3 divided by 1 is still 3, and dividing 9 by 3 gives us 3.

Now we have:

33/3 - 9/3 - 1/3

To subtract the fractions, we subtract the numerators and keep the same denominator:

(33 - 9 - 1)/3

Simplifying the numerator gives us:

23/3

So, the difference between 11 and 3 1/3 is 23/3.
