You can either convert the decimal to a fraction and then subtract (3/4 - 0.5 = 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4), OR you can convert the fraction to a decimal and then subtract (3/4 - 0.5 = 0.75 - 0.5 = 0.25).

How do you we subtract fraction with whole numbers?

either convert the fraction into a decimal or the integer into a fraction. For example if you were attempting to subtract 1/3 from 2, you could either turn 1/3 into 0.3 repeating (by dividing 1 into three) or by turning 2 into 6/3, by placing the denominator from the fraction below the whole number, than multiplying the whole number by its new denominator, thus effectively converting it into a fraction. To subtract 1/3 from 6/3, simply subtract 1 from 6, and keep the denominator (5/3). If you opted to convert the fraction into a decimal earlier, simply subtract the 0.3 repeating from the 2, thinking of the 2 as its other representative, 2.0 repeating, solving to 1.6 repeating (ending eventually in an imaginary 7)

What is negative 6.8 repeating decimal as a fraction?

To convert a repeating decimal to a fraction, let x = -6.8. Multiply the repeating decimal by a power of 10 to eliminate the repeating part. Therefore, 10x = -68.8888.... Subtract the original equation from this to get 9x = -75, which simplifies to x = -75/9. Thus, the fraction form of -6.8 repeating decimal is -75/9.
