5 1/4 - 2 2/3, how do I solve please?
5 1/4 - 2 2/3first you find the LCM, so u can make both fractions have a like denominator. I'm thinking the LCM is 12, so:(5 3/12) - (2 8/12) = 63/12 - 32/12=31/12= 2 and 7/125 1/4 - 2 2/3 = 2 7/12
21/4 − 8/3= ((21 × 3) − (8 × 4)) / (4 × 3) = (63 - 32) / 12= 31/12= 31/12= 2 7/12
