Answer:
C. 1 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
5 - 3 1/3
We can also convert 5 into a fraction with the same denominator like this:
Since we’re trying to make 5 a fraction with a denominator of 3, leave 4 as the whole number and 3/3 as the fraction
4 3/3
4 3/3 = 5 because 3/3 = 1 and 4 + 1 = 5
Now we can subtract!
4 3/3 - 3 1/3 = 1 2/3
Step 1. Subtract the whole numbers
Step 2. Subtract the numerator
Step 3. Leave the answer with the same denominator
