Answer to Problem 6AR

  $\frac{55}{64}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

An expression is given as $\frac{9}{32}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{21}{64}$

Calculation:

We have been given an expression as $\frac{9}{32}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{21}{64}$.

Evaluating the expression,

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{9}{32}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{21}{64}=\frac{9}{32}\times \frac{2}{2}+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{16}{16}+\frac{21}{64}\\ =\frac{18}{64}+\frac{16}{64}+\frac{21}{64}=\frac{18+16+21}{64}\\ =\frac{55}{64}\end{array}$

Hence, $\frac{9}{32}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{21}{64}$$=$$\frac{55}{64}$.

An expression is given as $\frac{11}{16}-\frac{7}{16}$

Calculation:

We have been given an expression as $\frac{11}{16}-\frac{7}{16}$.

Evaluating the expression,

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{11}{16}-\frac{7}{16}=\frac{11-7}{16}\\ =\frac{4}{16}=\frac{\cancel{4}}{\cancel{4}\times 4}\\ =\frac{1}{4}\end{array}$

Hence, $\frac{11}{16}-\frac{7}{16}$$=$$\frac{1}{4}$.

Calculation:

We have been given an expression as $\frac{17}{20}-\frac{3}{5}$.

Evaluating the expression,

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{17}{20}-\frac{3}{5}=\frac{17}{20}-\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{4}{4}\\ =\frac{17}{20}-\frac{12}{20}=\frac{5}{20}\\ =\frac{\cancel{5}}{\cancel{5}\times 4}\\ =\frac{1}{4}\end{array}$

Hence, $\frac{17}{20}-\frac{3}{5}$$=$$\frac{1}{4}$.

Given information:

An expression is given as $\frac{49}{64}-\frac{3}{8}$

Calculation:

We have been given an expression as $\frac{49}{64}-\frac{3}{8}$.

Evaluating the expression,

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{49}{64}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{49}{64}-\frac{3}{8}\times \frac{8}{8}\\ =\frac{49}{64}-\frac{24}{64}=\frac{49-24}{64}\\ =\frac{25}{64}\end{array}$

Hence, $\frac{49}{64}-\frac{3}{8}$$=$$\frac{25}{16}$.

Calculation:

We have been given an expression as $6-\frac{11}{16}$.

Evaluating the expression,

  $\begin{array}{l}6-\frac{11}{16}=\frac{6\times 16}{16}-\frac{11}{16}\\ =\frac{96}{16}-\frac{11}{16}=\frac{96-11}{16}\\ =\frac{85}{16}\end{array}$

Hence, $6-\frac{11}{16}$$=$$\frac{85}{16}$.

An expression is given as $13\frac{1}{8}-9\frac{7}{32}$

Calculation:

We have been given an expression as $13\frac{1}{8}-9\frac{7}{32}$.

Evaluating the expression,

  $\begin{array}{l}13\frac{1}{8}-9\frac{7}{32}=\frac{13\times 8+1}{8}-\frac{9\times 32+7}{32}\\ =\frac{105}{8}-\frac{295}{32}=\frac{105}{8}\times \frac{4}{4}-\frac{295}{32}\\ =\frac{420-295}{32}\\ =\frac{125}{32}\end{array}$

Hence, $13\frac{1}{8}-9\frac{7}{32}$$=$$\frac{125}{32}$.
