How do you solve \(19 \frac{2}{11} - 3 \frac{5}{22}\)?

Asked by anna34

Answer (2)

The answer is 351/22 Steps:

You turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions, your new numbers are 211/11 and 71/22
Since your least common multiple would be 22 you do 11 times 2 and 211 times 2. Now 211/11 becomes 422/22
You do 422/22 minus 71/22
Your answer is 351/22
