The answer is -0.5
1st
5.5 - 6
2nd
5.5 + (-6)
Next is "secret subtraction"
6 - 5.5 = 0.5
Now look at your rewritten equation. 6 has the larger identity and the 6 is negative so you so you make the 0.5 negative and the answer is: -0.5
Not sure if I explained well but there you go.
(5/6) - (1/3) - (1/2 )find a common denominator:(5/6) - (2/6) - (3/6)and subtract the top numbers, leaving the bottom number a 6:(0/6)so the answer is 0
5/6 - 1/2 = 2/6 --> 1/3
2 and 5/6
One whole minus one-sixth is calculated as follows: 1 can be expressed as 6/6, so when you subtract 1/6 from 6/6, you get (6/6) - (1/6) = 5/6. Therefore, 1 whole minus 1 over 6 equals 5/6.
7 ft 3 in. You can subtract 2 in from 5 in to get 3 in, then subtract 6 ft from 13 ft to get 7 ft and add the two results to get 7'3".
(5/6) - (1/3) - (1/2 )find a common denominator:(5/6) - (2/6) - (3/6)and subtract the top numbers, leaving the bottom number a 6:(0/6)so the answer is 0
5/6
5/6 - 1/2 = 2/6 --> 1/3
5/6
5 and 1/2
When you subtract 6 from 5, you are left with a negative number. The result of 5 minus 6 is -1. In mathematical terms, this operation can be written as 5 - 6 = -1.
3 and 5/6
2 and 5/6
-5/6
5/3 minus 1/2 is 1 1/6
It will be 1/6 because 31/6 minus 1/6 = 5
2x - 6 = x + 5 add 6 and subtract x to both sides; x = 11
