Given the numerical equation:
- 3 ⅓ - ( - 5 ⅔)
Solution:
In order to easily solve the given values, we change the mixed number into decimal. One trick to change mixed numbers to decimals is by retaining the whole number, and adding or subtracting if negative the quotient of the fraction to the whole number.
- 3 ⅓
= ⅓ =0.3333 (repeating)
= -3.3333 (repeating)
-5 ⅔
= ⅔ =0.6666(repeating)
= -5.6666 (repeating)
Now we can easily solve the given equation.
= -3.3333 - (- 5.6666)
= -3.3333 + 5.6666
= 2.333 (repeating)
Final answer:
2.3333 (repeating)
