Question : 9 of 150

Marks: +1, -0

7\frac{3}{5}+6\frac{2}{5}-3\frac{1}{5}-5\frac{4}{5}=?

Solution:

Concept:

Separate the whole numbers and fractions to simplify the addition and subtraction of mixed fractions.

Explanation:

First, group the integer parts:

7 + 6 - 3 - 5 = 13 - 8 = 5

Next, group the fractional parts:

\frac{3}{5} + \frac{2}{5} - \frac{1}{5} - \frac{4}{5} = \frac{3+2-1-4}{5} = \frac{0}{5} = 0

Combine the results:

5 + 0 = 5

Alternatively, convert each mixed fraction to an improper fraction:

7\frac{3}{5}=\frac{38}{5},\;6\frac{2}{5}=\frac{32}{5},\;3\frac{1}{5}=\frac{16}{5},\;5\frac{4}{5}=\frac{29}{5}

Then compute:

\frac{38}{5}+\frac{32}{5}-\frac{16}{5}-\frac{29}{5} = \frac{38+32-16-29}{5} = \frac{25}{5}=5

Answer:

5
