Solution finding the Subtraction of Fraction 5/2 from Whole Number 9

The given input are 9 and 5/2

9 can be written as 9/1 in fraction format

The given fractions are 9/1 and 5/2

Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 9/1 and 5/2

9/1 - 5/2

The LCM of 1 and 2 (denominators of the fractions) is 2

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2


= 9 x 2 - 5 x 1/2

= 18 - 5/2

= 13/2

Result: 13/2

In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 13 ÷ 2 to get the Quotient and Remainder

13 divided by 2 using long division

The given Divisor = 2 and Dividend = 13

6
213
12
1

The Quotient is 6 and the Remainder is 1

We get the Quotient = 6 and Remainder = 1

∵ The Mixed-Fraction can be written as QuotientRemainder/Denominator

Result: 6 1/2
