To determine

To find : The difference of the expression.

Answer to Problem 48E

Thedifference of the expression is $6$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Consider theexpression $7\frac{5}{6}-1\frac{5}{6}$ .

Calculation :

Consider the following expression $7\frac{5}{6}-1\frac{5}{6}$ .

First the mixed fraction is needed to be converted into improper fraction and then addition is to be done.

Therefore,

  $\begin{array}{l}7\frac{5}{6}-1\frac{5}{6}\left[\text{Change mixed fraction}\right]\\ =\frac{47}{6}-\frac{11}{6}\left[\text{Applying LCM property}\right]\\ =\frac{47-11}{6}\left[\text{subtract}\right]\\ =\frac{36}{6}\left[\text{Divide}\right]\\ =6\end{array}$

The difference of the expression is $6$ .
