Solve for: 6 and 1/2 minus 5 and 3/4 1. First off, we will convert both of these mixed number fractions into improper fractions. 6 and 1/2 minus 5 and 3/4 = 13/2 - 23/4 2. Next, to subtract these fractions, we need to find a common demo which is 4 so, we would leave the second fraction as is but, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction both by 2. 13/2 - 23/4 = 26/4 - 23/4 3. Lastly, we just need to subtract the fractions together, so, the way to do this is to just subtract the 23 from the second fraction from 26 which is in the first fraction and the denominators will remain the same which is 4, so, let’s do that. 26/4 - 23/4 = 3/4
So, in conclusion, 6 and 1/2 minus 5 and 3/4 is equal to: 3/4 or 0.75 or 75%.
