Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find what is $2 \frac { 1 } { 3 }$ less than $7 \frac { 1 } { 2 }$, subtract $2 \frac { 1 } { 3 }$ from $7 \frac { 1 } { 2 }$. Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions: $7 \frac { 1 } { 2 } = \frac { 15 } { 2 }$ and $2 \frac { 1 } { 3 } = \frac { 7 } { 3 }$. Subtracting these gives $\frac { 15 } { 2 } - \frac { 7 } { 3 } = \frac { 45 - 14 } { 6 } = \frac { 31 } { 6 }$, which simplifies to $5 \frac { 1 } { 6 }$.
