Answer
5 3/8 - 1 1/3 = 4 1/24
5 (3/8) - 1 (1/3) = 4 (1/24)
Explanation
The key to solving expressions involving mixed fractions is to convert them to improper fractions first.
5 3/8 = (43/8)
1 1/3 = (4/3)
So,
5 3/8 - 1 1/3 = (43/8) - (4/3)
So, we take the LCM of the denominators, 3 and 8
[tex]\frac{43}{8}-\frac{4}{3}=\frac{129-32}{24}=\frac{97}{24}=4\frac{1}{24}[/tex]Hope this Helps!!!
