| Subtraction of Whole Number and Fraction Subtraction (Like Fractions) | Subtraction (Different Denominators) | Subtraction (Whole Number and Fraction) | Subtraction(Mixed Fraction) | Explanation
When we have to subtract a whole number and a fraction, we write whole number as fraction and this can be done by putting 1 as the denominator of the given whole number i.e x and x/1 are both equal. And then we can solve the given problem as we solve Subtraction of Fractions with Different Denominator.
Study the following examples of Subtraction of Whole Number and Fraction
Example 1 = Solve 2 - (1/5)
Answer = The proceed is as:
2 - (1/5) = (2/1) - (1/5) (because 2 = 2/1 )
Now, follow the process of Subtraction of Fractions with Different Denominator (Topic discussed above)
= {(2 × 5) - 1 } / 5
Solve Parentheses and we get:
= {10 - 1} / 5
Solve Braces and we get:
= 9 / 5
Example 2 = Simplify 5 and 2/7
Answer = The proceed is as:
5 - (2/7) = (5/1) - (2/7) (because 5 = 5/1 )
Now, follow the process of Subtraction of Fractions with Different Denominator (Topic discussed above)
= {(5 × 7) - 2 } / 7
Solve Parentheses and we get:
= {35 - 2} / 7
Solve Braces and we get:
= 33 / 5
Example 3 = Subtract (5/11) from 10
Answer = The proceed is as:
10 - (5/11) = (10/1) - (5/11) (because 10 = 10/1 )
Now, follow the process of Subtraction of Fractions with Different Denominator (Topic discussed above)
= {(10 × 11) - 5 } / 11
Solve Parentheses and we get:
= {110 - 5} / 11
Solve Braces and we get:
= 105 / 11
