, the result is smaller than operation
Further explanation
Fraction numbers are known as numerators and denominators
On a number line, fractions are expressed in points that lie between two integers
The general form of fractions is
a = numerator
b = denominator
There are 3 forms of fraction
1. proper fraction
2. improper fraction
3. mixed fraction
Mixed fractions consist of whole numbers and proper fractions
Matt says that will be more than 4, since 5 - 1 is 4.
We can prove Matt's says if we calculate the results of the subtraction operations from the two operations:
if we look at the first number, it has the same value of 5, while the second number of the two substraction operations is
Number is one form of mixed fraction, which if we change it into improper fraction becomes:
while the number 1 if we change into fractions (with denominators = 4) becomes
So the number is greater than
The conclusion in a substraction operation:
, the result is smaller than operation
or we prove it by the results of operations
In Subtracting Mixed Fractions, we change all the values to fractions
because denominators are 4, then the fraction we made has denominators 4
convert back to Mixed Fractions
