Solution finding the Subtraction of Fraction 7/2 from Whole Number 9

The given input are 9 and 7/2

9 can be written as 9/1 in fraction format

The given fractions are 9/1 and 7/2

Firstly the L.C.M should be done for the denominators of the two fractions 9/1 and 7/2

9/1 - 7/2

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 - 7 x 1/2

= 18 - 7/2

= 11/2

Result: 11/2

In order to get the Mixed Number,we need to divide 11 ÷ 2 to get the Quotient and Remainder

11 divided by 2 using long division

The given Divisor = 2 and Dividend = 11

5
211
10
1

The Quotient is 5 and the Remainder is 1

We get the Quotient = 5 and Remainder = 1

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

Result: 5 1/2
