How to subtract -2 1/6-2/3

Conversion a mixed number 2 1/6

to a improper fraction: 2 1/6 = 2 1/6

= 2 · 6 + 1/6

= 12 + 1/6

= 13/6

Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 6. Whole number 2 equally 2 * 6/6 = 12/6

To find new numerator: 13/6 - 2/3= 13/6 - 2 · 2/ 3 · 2 = 13/6- 4/6= 13 - 4/6= 9/6= 3 · 3/3 · 2= 3/2

Add the answer from previous step 12 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 12 + 1 = 13

Write a previous answer (new numerator 13) over the denominator 6.

Two and one sixth is thirteen sixths

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(6, 3) = 6. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 6 × 3 = 18. In the next intermediate step , cancel by a common factor of 3 gives 3/2

.

In words - thirteen sixths minus two thirds = three halfs.

I'm not sure if this is right but if it's not I did math for nothing-.

the median here is 25. your lowest value is 14 and highest value is 48. to find the third quartile, find the medium number in between 25 and 48 which would be 42 i believe.
