Question
Perform the indicated operations.$$3 \frac{1}{2}-1 \frac{7}{8}$$
Step 1
We can do this by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding the numerator. So, $3 \frac{1}{2}$ becomes $\frac{3*2+1}{2} = \frac{7}{2}$ and $1 \frac{7}{8}$ becomes $\frac{1*8+7}{8} = \frac{15}{8}$. Show more…
