So she could figure out the price of each apple was.
Answer:
- <em>convert </em>the mixed fractions to improper fractions (where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator): multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator, add that to the numerator, write the result on top of the denominator.
- if the denominators are not the same, work out the common denominator and <em>rewrite </em>the fractions with the same denominators
- subtract by subtracting the numerators and writing the result over the denominator
- convert back to mixed fractions by dividing the numerator by the denominator, write down the whole number answer, write down the remainder above the denominator.
Example
convert to improper fractions:
common denominator = 3 × 5 = 15, so:
subtract:
convert back to mixed fractions:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The two numbers are -419 and -2095.
Step-by-step explanation:
5x=y
x-y=1676
----------------
x-5x=1676
-4x=1676
x=1676/-4
x=-419
5(-419)=y
y=-2095
