31/6 - 11/2 - 3/4 = 19/6 - 3/2 - 3/4 = 38/12 - 18/12 - 9/12 = 11/12
Three-sixths minus two-sixths is one-sixth.
seventy-eleven and a half
1 and one half
One-half is equivalent to three-sixths. This is because when you divide one-half into sixths, you multiply the denominator by three, resulting in three parts of six. Thus, there are three sixths in one-half.
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.
Three-sixths minus two-sixths is one-sixth.
seventy-eleven and a half
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.
1 and one half
One-half is equivalent to three-sixths. This is because when you divide one-half into sixths, you multiply the denominator by three, resulting in three parts of six. Thus, there are three sixths in one-half.
2 1/4
2/3 can be converted to 4/6. So 4/6 - 1/6= 3/6 or 1/2
The answer is eleven over six, or one and five-sixths.
