in order to answer this problem you have to first make the denominators (bottom number) match.
Do this by finding the smallest common multiple (the smallest number that both of the denominators divide into) of the denominators.
It is: -2.5 minus 0.75 = -3.25
two one half
It is three fourths or 0.75 in decimal.
Six twelves is 72. 72 minus three fourths is 71 and one fourth. If you meant six twelfths minus three fourths, the answer is minus one fourth.
Eight and three fourths minus by two and one fourth equals six and one fourths (6.5).
5 and half
It is: -2.5 minus 0.75 = -3.25
two one half
The answer is: 3/4 minus 1/2 = 1/4
It is three fourths or 0.75 in decimal.
Three fourths minus three sixths equals one fourth
Six twelves is 72. 72 minus three fourths is 71 and one fourth. If you meant six twelfths minus three fourths, the answer is minus one fourth.
2.5-1.75 = 0.75 or 3/4
Eight and three fourths minus by two and one fourth equals six and one fourths (6.5).
four and three quarters minus two and one quarter = two and two quarters = two and one half
the answer two 9 and one eighth minus 6 and three fourths is
One-half of three-fourths is three-eighths.
