Quiz 5 Score: \( 4 / 9 \) Answered: \( 5 / 9 \) Question 6 Subtract and simplify the answer. If your answer is an improper fraction, rewrite it as a mixed numb \( \frac{53}{24}-\frac{20}{24} \)

When you subtract the fractions \( \frac{53}{24} - \frac{20}{24} \), you simply subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. This gives you: \[ \frac{53 - 20}{24} = \frac{33}{24} \] Now, to simplify \( \frac{33}{24} \), you can see that both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 3. This gives: \[ \frac{33 \div 3}{24 \div 3} = \frac{11}{8} \] Since \( \frac{11}{8} \) is an improper fraction (the numerator is larger than the denominator), you can convert it into a mixed number. Divide 11 by 8, which goes 1 time, with a remainder of 3. So, it can be expressed as: \[ 1 \frac{3}{8} \] Final answer: \( 1 \frac{3}{8} \)
