Answer:
C. [tex]\sf \dfrac{7}{4}[/tex]
D. [tex]\sf 1\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]
Explanation:
[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf 4\dfrac{1}{4}-2\dfrac{2}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\hookrightarrow \ \sf \dfrac{17}{4}-\dfrac{10}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf \dfrac{17-10}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\hookrightarrow \ \sf \dfrac{7}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\hookrightarrow \ \sf 1\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\hookrightarrow 1.75[/tex]
Answer: 7/4 and 1 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(4, 4) = 4. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 4 × 4 = 16. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.
In other words - seventeen quarters minus ten quarters = seven quarters.
