5 over 4 (5/4) is an improper fraction. It means 1 whole and 1 quarter (1 1/4).
1 whole and 1 over 10
you would write it as '4 1/5' or '4.2'
1 whole one!
42/3 - 14/5 = 43/15 or 213/15
4 over 5 is not a whole number and so it cannot be expressed as a whole number.
Addition/subtraction of fractions. 4 1/2 - 1 2/3 Steps to take;- #1 ; convert to improper (top heavy) fractions. #2 ; bring to a common denominator #3 ; bring numerators to equivalent values #4 ; add/subtract numertors as appropriate #5 ; place over denomiator #6 ; bring back to a mixed number. Hence Step 1' 4 1/2 - 1 2/3 = 9/2 - 5/3 #2 ; 2 x 3 = 6 ( common denomiator) #3 ; 9 x3 =27 & 5 x 2 = 10 (Equivlent value numerators) #4 ; 27 - 10 = 17 #5 ; 17/6 #6 ; 17/6 = 2 5/6 The answer!!!! NB For addition of fractions , it is exactly the same process, except at step #4, you add the numertors.
1 whole 1/5 + 4/5 = 5/5 = 1 Because both fractions are fifths just add the top numbers to get the total number of fifths.
go too school
That's 1 + 3/4 + 3 + 1/4 = 4/4 + 3/4 + 12/4 + 1/4 = 20/4 = 5/1 = 5.
1 + 5/15 = 4/3 or 11/3
4 3/10 - 2 4/5 = 43/10 - 14/5 = 43/10 - 28/10 = 15/10 = 1 whole 1 over 2
