I was diong my studys and found that when I did the math on page 33. in book (fun with everyday math) 5th grade. I followed the example to do the problems they were all wrong. The example I did not figuare how you came up with answer. So I had a stundent my nephew do them and he did it another way and came up with the right answers. what gives please so in depth how they did it. Example 41/3 - 15/6 regroup to make an improper fraction. Subtract and write the differance as a mixed number in simplist terms. rember to show your work. When I did it the same way they showed me it doesnt come up with the right answers on the problems shown to do. Like in the 1st prob. the answer is (1 7/10). but follow the example and you come up with (1 and 9/10) help me to understand. Thank You Richard
