Question 647334

you can do it this way:

{{{(64/3)-4}}}.............write fraction {{{(64/3)}}} as a decimal number

={{{21.33-4}}}


={{{17.33}}}


or, this way:

{{{(64/3)-4}}}.......write whole number {{{4}}} as a fraction with denominator {{{3}}} 

{{{(64/3)-4*3/3}}}

{{{64/3-12/3}}}

{{{(64-12)/3}}}

{{{52/3}}}..now, mixed number

{{{17(1/3)}}}........write mixed number {{{17(1/3)}}} as a decimal number to see if the result is same

{{{17(1/3)=17+1/3=17+0.33=17.33}}}...as you can see, we got same result as before
