What is 11 5/8 - 2 1/16- 4 3/4 ? is the answer the same without the parenthesis?​

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 11 5/8 to a improper fraction: 11 5/8 = 11 5/ 8 = 11 · 8 + 5/8 = 88 + 5/8 = 93/8

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 11 by the denominator 8. Whole number 11 equally 11 * 8/8 = 88/8

b) Add the answer from previous step 88 to the numerator 5. New numerator is 88 + 5 = 93

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 93) over the denominator 8.

Eleven and five eighths is ninety-three eighths

Conversion a mixed number 2 1/16 to a improper fraction: 2 1/16 = 2 1/16 = 2 · 16 + 1/16 = 32 + 1/16 = 33/16

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 16. Whole number 2 equally 2 * 16/16 = 32/16

b) Add the answer from previous step 32 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 32 + 1 = 33

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 33) over the denominator 16.

Two and one sixteenth is thirty-three sixteenths

Subtract: 93/8 - 33/16 = 93 · 2/8 · 2 - 33/16 = 186/16 - 33/16 = 186 - 33/16 = 153/16

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(8, 16) = 16. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 8 × 16 = 128. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In words - ninety-three eighths minus thirty-three sixteenths = one hundred fifty-three sixteenths.
