Question

Help me I don’t understand the answer in the book is 16/32

Answer 1

Answer:

$1\frac{5}{32}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2\frac{25}{32} -1\frac{20}{32}$

Turn the mixed fractions into improper ones

$\frac{89}{32} -\frac{52}{32}$

Now we subtract the numerators(the top number) and keep the denominators(the bottom number) the same

$\frac{37}{32}$

Turn this into a mixed fraction

$1\frac{5}{32}$

Hope this helps please let me know if you have any further questions or don't understand something
