How Much Greater Is The Difference Of 8 3/4 And 4 1/2 Than The Sum Of 1 1/2 And 1 5/6

How much greater is the difference of 8 3/4 and 4 1/2 than the sum of 1 1/2 and 1 5/6

 

Answer:

8 3/4 - 4 1/2

Change to improper to easily solve

35/4 - 9/2

Get the LCD. Use it as the denominator

35/4 as is

9/2 will be 18/4

35/4 - 18/4

17/4 or 4 1/4

1 1/2 + 1 5/6

3/2 + 11/6

Get LCD.

3/2 will be 9/6

11/6 is same

9/6 + 11/6

20/6 or 3 2/6 or 3 1/3

17/4 and 20/6

Get LCD for both to compare

4 8 12

6 12 18

Use 12.

17/4 = 51/12

20/6 = 40/12

Seeing as 51/12 is greater, subtract with 40/12 to compare the gap.

51/12 - 40/12

11/12 - The difference is greater by 11/12 compared to the sum
