-1,-2,+2,-4,+4,-5,+5, +0. the sequence is subtract twice, add once, subtract again, add, then subtract, then add twice.
1/2 2/3 is the same as 4/6 Subtract 1/6 gives you 3/6 And 3/6 is the same as 1/2
-11 Pattern: Subtract 1, subtract 2, subtract 3 and so on.
Assuming that the number is supposed to be 6 1/3 (six and one third) We call that a mixed number because it has a whole number (6) plus a fraction (1/3). To make 6 1/3 into an improper fraction, multiply the denominator (3) by the whole number (6) and add the result to the numerator (1). That gives us 19/3 (nineteen thirds). This is called an "improper" fraction because it is more than one; that is, the numerator is larger than the denominator. Sometimes it is useful to change a mixed number into a mixed number with an improper fraction. This is usually seen when adding and subtracting mixed numbers. To do this, subtract 1 from the whole number part and add the denominator to the numerator. 6 1/3 = 5 + 3/3 + 1/3 = 5 4/3. Here is an example of when that can be useful: Subtract 5 3/4 from 7 1/4 Since we can't really subtract 3/4 from 1/4, we have to borrow (regroup). Turn the 7 1/4 into 6 5/4 Now subtract 6 5/4 - 5 3/4 = 1 2/4 or 1 1/2.
No. (5/6) - (1/6) = 4/6 = 2/3
