41/8 - 17/6 = 123/24 - 68/24 = 55/24 or 2 and 7/24
5 minus 5 sixths is 4 and one sixth.
23/24
To subtract one third from five sixths, you first need a common denominator. The common denominator for 6 and 3 is 6. Five sixths remains the same, while one third can be converted to two sixths. Therefore, five sixths minus two sixths equals three sixths, which simplifies to one half.
One minus a sixth is five sixths.
1 minus five sixths equals one sixth
1
Five and one third.
5/6 - 1/5 Subtraction of fractions. Step 1 ; Form improper fractions ( not required in this case). Step 2 ; Bring both denominators to the same value , and the numerators to equivalent values. Hence [5(5) - 1(6)] / ( 5 x 6) [ 25 - 6] / 30 Step 3; subtract the numerators [19] /30 Step 4 ; Cancel down if possible ( not possible in this case) Step 5; Convert to a mixed number ( not required in this case). Hence the answer is 19/30 NB For addition of fractions go through the same steps. Except at Step 3, you ADD the numerators. NNB Multiplication and division of fractions require different techniques.
Negative one half
1 and one half
Oneand one sixth is six sixths (one in total) plus one sixth - or seven sixths. So seven sixths minus 5 sixths is 2 sixths which can also be expressed as one third.
You have to convert your fractions so that they are all the same. In this case, we can use sixths. So two and three sixths (two and a half), minus one and four sixths (one and two thirds), would equal five sixths. Another way to do it is to convert the whole numbers to sixths as well. Fifteen sixths minus ten sixths equals five sixths.
