19

Step 1

Let us f irst convert the given mixed f ractions into improper f ractions. In order to

convert the mixed f raction 21139

323 into an improper f raction, we will need to

multiply the denominator 323 by 21 and add the numerator 139 to the result. Theresulting number will be the numerator of the improper f raction and thedenominator will remain the same:

21139

323 =

21 × 323 + 139

323 =

6922

323

Similarly, the mixed f raction 610

17 can be converted into an improper f raction

as:

610

17 =

6 × 17 + 10

17 =

112

17

Step 2

We now need to subtract the f ollowing unlike f ractions: 6922

323 and

112

17 .

Bef ore we subtract, let us f irst convert them to like f ractions.

Step 3

Let us f ind the LCM of the denominators 323 and 17.The LCM of 323 and 17 is 323.

Step 4

What should we multiply with the denominator 323 to get the LCM 323?

It is 323

323 = 1.

So, the f irst f raction can be written as:

6922 × 1

323 × 1 =

6922

323

Step 5

Similarly, the second f raction can be written as:

112 × 19

17 × 19 =

2128

323

Step 6

Let us now subtract the two like f ractions:

6922

Step 1

Let us f irst convert the given mixed f ractions into improper f ractions. In order to

convert the mixed f raction 655

234 into an improper f raction, we will need to

multiply the denominator 234 by 6 and add the numerator 55 to the result. Theresulting number will be the numerator of the improper f raction and thedenominator will remain the same:

655

234 =

6 × 234 + 55

234 =

1459

234

Similarly, the mixed f raction 27

18 can be converted into an improper f raction

as:

27

18 =

2 × 18 + 7

18 =

43

18

Step 2

We now need to subtract the f ollowing unlike f ractions: 1459
