2 4/5 – 1/5 =
To subtract the fractions, follow these steps:
1. Convert the mixed number (2 frac{4}{5}) into an improper fraction. To do this, multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (5) and add the numerator (4):
[
2 times 5 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14
]
So, (2 frac{4}{5} = frac{14}{5}).
2. Now, subtract ( frac{1}{5} ) from ( frac{14}{5} ):
[
frac{14}{5} – frac{1}{5} = frac{14 – 1}{5} = frac{13}{5}
]
3. Convert ( frac{13}{5} ) back to a mixed number if necessary. Divide 13 by 5:
– 5 goes into 13 two times, which gives 10, and there is a remainder of 3.
– So ( frac{13}{5} = 2 frac{3}{5} ).
The final answer is ( 2 frac{3}{5} ).
