## genny7 one year ago Need help!! 8 3/10 - 26 1/2

1. imqwerty

um can u plese write the question using draw tool

2. pooja195

I think they meant this: $\huge~\rm~ 8\frac{ 3 }{ 10 }-26\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }=?$

3. anonymous

do you mean $8\frac{ 3 }{ 10 } - 26\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }$ ?

4. genny7

Yes yes thats what i mean

5. anonymous

so $\frac{ 83 }{ 10 } - \frac{ 53 }{ 2 }$ = ?

6. anonymous

match denominators and then just subtract

7. genny7

Okay so if i times the denominator by 5 i have to do the same to the top right

8. anonymous

$\frac{ 83 }{ 10 } - \frac{ -265 }{ 10 }$ is what you are saying you want to do right

9. anonymous

err remove the - on 265 typo

10. genny7

Lol and yes thats what im trying to do

11. anonymous
