Step-by-step explanation:
4 1/4 - 2 5/6
These are mixed fractions
Step one
Convert mixed fraction to improper fraction
4 1/4 = [ (4*4) + 1]/4 = (16+1) / 4=17/4
2 5/6 = [ (2*6) + 5]/6 = (12+5) / 6=17/6
Step 2
Difference between 17/4 and 17/6
Find the lowest common multiples of the denominators of both fractions
Multiples of 4
4*1=4
4*2=8
4*3=12
Multiples of 6
6*1=6
6*2=12
The lowest common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6 is 12
Step 3
Multiply each fraction by the LCM, 12
[ (17/4) * 12] - [ (17/6) * 12]=51-34=17
