The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem \( 3\frac{5}{6} - 2\frac{7}{15} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions First, we need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. 1. For \( 3\frac{5}{6} \): - Multiply the whole number (3) by the denominator (6): \[ 3 \times 6 = 18 \] - Add the numerator (5): \[ 18 + 5 = 23 \] - So, \( 3\frac{5}{6} \) becomes: \[ \frac{23}{6} \] 2. For \( 2\frac{7}{15} \): - Multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (15): \[ 2 \times 15 = 30 \] - Add the numerator (7): \[ 30 + 7 = 37 \] - So, \( 2\frac{7}{15} \) becomes: \[ \frac{37}{15} \] ### Step 2: Subtract the Improper Fractions Now we need to subtract the two improper fractions: \[ \frac{23}{6} - \frac{37}{15} \] ### Step 3: Find a Common Denominator To subtract these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 15 is 30. ### Step 4: Convert Each Fraction to Have the Common Denominator 1. Convert \( \frac{23}{6} \) to have a denominator of 30: - Multiply the numerator and denominator by 5: \[ \frac{23 \times 5}{6 \times 5} = \frac{115}{30} \] 2. Convert \( \frac{37}{15} \) to have a denominator of 30: - Multiply the numerator and denominator by 2: \[ \frac{37 \times 2}{15 \times 2} = \frac{74}{30} \] ### Step 5: Subtract the Converted Fractions Now we can subtract: \[ \frac{115}{30} - \frac{74}{30} = \frac{115 - 74}{30} = \frac{41}{30} \] ### Step 6: Convert the Result Back to a Mixed Number To convert \( \frac{41}{30} \) back to a mixed number: - Divide 41 by 30: - 30 goes into 41 one time (1). - The remainder is \( 41 - 30 = 11 \). Thus, \( \frac{41}{30} \) can be written as: \[ 1\frac{11}{30} \] ### Final Answer The final answer is: \[ 1\frac{11}{30} \] ---
