How do you subtract 5 and 6 sevenths and 1 one and a half as a mixed number?
First you convert to a common denominator:5 6/7 + 1 1/2= 5 12/14 + 1 7/14Now you can subtract the integer part and the fractional part separately. 5 - 4 = 1, and 12 - 7 = 5, so the result is:4 5/14If the fractional part of the first number is less than the fractional part of the second number, you must take one away from the integer part, and add (in this case) 14/14 to the fractional part, so that you can do the subtraction. This is similar to the concept of "borrowing" when you subtract integers.First you convert to a common denominator:5 6/7 + 1 1/2= 5 12/14 + 1 7/14Now you can subtract the integer part and the fractional part separately. 5 - 4 = 1, and 12 - 7 = 5, so the result is:4 5/14If the fractional part of the first number is less than the fractional part of the second number, you must take one away from the integer part, and add (in this case) 14/14 to the fractional part, so that you can do the subtraction.

How much is 1 day and 14 hours?
To convert 1 day and 14 hours to a single unit of time, we first convert the 1 day to hours, which is 24 hours. Adding the 14 hours, we get a total of 38 hours. Therefore, 1 day and 14 hours is equivalent to 38 hours.
14 days equal how many hours?
14 days is 336 hours @24 hours per day.
What mixed number is shown on the number line --------1---------2-------x-----3--------4----- what steps did you take to find the mixed number?
The number is 24/7. The number is between 2 and 3 so the integer part of the mixed number is 2. The x is the 8th characters after the 2 so the numerator of the fractional part is 8. The 3 is the 14th characters after the 2 so the denominator of the fractional part is 14. Therefore, the fractional part is 8/14 = 4/7.
What is the period that separates two parts of a decimal?
The period that separates two parts of a decimal is called the decimal point. It distinguishes the whole number part from the fractional part of a number. For example, in the decimal 3.14, the decimal point separates the whole number 3 from the fractional part 14.
