Answer:
4 19/36
Step-by-step explanation:
we have to subtract the sum of 10 2/9 and 5 1/4 from 20 to get the answer.
=> 10 2/9 + 5 1/4
As a c/d is a + c/d,
10 2/9 + 5 1/4 can also be written as 10+5+2/9+1/4
now we have to simplify it
=> 10+5 = 15
=> 2/9 = (2*4)/9*4) = 8/36, 1/4 = (1*9)/(4*9) = 9/36
now we have the same denominators
add,
8/36 + 9/36 = (8+9)/36 = 17/36
=> now we know that 10 2/9 + 5 1/4 is 15 17/36 ( which is 15 + 17/36)
=> next step is to convert 15 17/36 into an improper fraction
15 17/36 = [(15*36)+17]/36 = [540+17]/36 = 557/36
=> now we just have to subtract 557/26 from 20
20 - 557/36 = [(20*36)-557]/36 = [720-557]/36 = 163/36
=> we can convert 163/36 into a mixed fraction if we want to
163/36 converted into mixed fraction is 4 19/36
hope this helps :)
