Answer 2

You asked "What is the answer to 6 − 3-6/8?" While I won't give away the answer, I will help you find it on your own.

1. We could rewrite this number sentence as 6-0/8 − 3-6/8. It's obvious that there's a problem because there are zero eighths from which to subtract 6/8.

1. To solve this problem, decompose the 6. It becomes 5 wholes and 8/8.

1. Now try the subtraction 5-8/8 − 3-6/8. You can subtract 6/8 from 8/8 and 3 from 5.
