5 & 3
First subtract 4-2, which equals 2. Then add 2+8=10.
20
you subtract the top 2 numbers and then leave the denominators the same like: 7/8-4/8=3/8. Get it?
Assuming that these "like" fractions have common denominators, to add or subtract them, simply add or subtract their numerators (numbers on top of the fraction), then put that answer over the like denominator. Example: 5/7 + 1/7 = 6/7 Example: 3/8 - 2/8 = 1/8
IT looks like the operations is "add 4 subtract 3, add 5 subtract 2, add 6...". So the next step would be to subtract one. That would make the next number 11.
1. Subtract 25 2. Then subtract 6 3. Then subtract 12 4. Then subtract 2 5. Then subtract 10 6. Then subtract 15 7. Then subtract 7 8. Then add 3 X 1/2 9. Then add 8
Subtract the numerator Subtract or add the numerator Subtract or add the numerator ex: 3/4-1/4=2/4 or 1/2 ex: 5/8 + 1/8= 6/8 or 3/4
Subtract the other way, then add a minus sign. For example, to subtract 6 - 8, you subtract 8 - 6, get the answer 2, then add a minus sign to get -2. Don't forget to subtract numerators you need a common denominator first. For example 1/4 - 3/8 = 2/8 - 38 = -1/8

Any number can be an arithmetic mean. SO just pick any three numbers between -2 and 12. And if you want to find a set of numbers for which your selected number is a mean add 1 and subtract 1 from it, or add 2 and subtract 2 from it (or do both). Suppose you pick 8. Add 1 and subtract 1: 7 and 9. 8 IS the arithmetic mean of 7 and 9. Add 2 and subtract 2: 6 and 10. 8 is the arithmetic mean of 6 and 10. It is also the AM of 6, 7, 9 and 10.
You would add (or subtract) the numerators, but leave the denominator the same. Examples: 3/5 + 4/5 would be 7/5 (1 and 2/5). 7/8 - 3/8 would be 4/8 (simplifies to 1/2)
What is the answer for 8 1/3 - 5 2/6
the pattern appears to be add 5. subtract 4. add 3. subtract 2. so in theory it would be add 1. your answer would be 8
