6 - 1/5 = 5 5/5-1/5 = 5 4/5 That's how I learned it. Discern the simplest way to attack a problem.

There is a method #3. 5 5/5 - 1/5 = 5 4/5. The 6 can be written as 5 wholes and 5/5.

Is there a future benefit to learning these methods? A fraction is, by definition less than 1. One can be expressed as a numerator over a denominator where both are equal. A whole number will be reduced by one anytime a fraction is subtracted. So you reduce the whole number by one (6-1=5). 1=5/5. To subtract 5/5-1/5, you just subtract the numerator of the second fraction from the numerator of the first fraction (5-1=4) which gives you ⅘, so the answer is 5⅘. You can do this in your head quite easily. The denominator can be any number (49/49=1). As long as the numerator and denominator match, the value is ONE. 7-⅔ is 7-1=6 and 3/3-⅔ (3-2=1) so 6⅓.

Wow. This is so long and complicated. We learned to make the denomination for both the same then subtract. I would have never learned this method.

Method #1; 6 1/3 = 19/3 Method #2; 19/3 = 6 1/3 tama po ba sir 🙂

Ans is "5.8".

I was learning "new math" from first through third grade. Then we moved. I walked into fourth grade and they were being taught division. I had no idea what they were doing and was too shy as the new kid to speak up. The teacher discussed this with my mother, but no one asked ME what the problem was. When I got to ninth grade they were teaching me algebra and I realized I already knew it. Sadly, it was too late and I had no desire to pay attention (I was more interested in the boys in my class by that time 🤣). I suck at math and now, even though showing me this, my brain clicks off and I can't/don't hear a word you are saying. I am 67 now and don't even want to try. Thank goodness for Google.

My first time to learn method 2. Thank you, Sir.

6- 1/5. Take 5/5 from the 6 leaving 5 and 5/5. Now you have 5 and 5/5 -1/5 = 5 and 4/5 Simple.

19/3 or 6-1/3 for drill 1 using both method.

Thank you my fellow teacher, T. Gon! You are a good help for those students who are struggling really hard in Math. With the method you are teaching us, you are making it easy for them and making them to appreciate and love Mathematics! ❤

I was a dumbass in high school but mostly cause i was lazy, but social studies and mathematics were the 2 things i always had 'A's and 'B's, I had learned method number 2, but method number 1 I had never seen before, seems a little extra complicated to learn, but, if it works, it works. Love this video

These videos are fun, a great refresher for me

after watching a couple of videos this one helped !!! 2 methods !!

Thank u for helping my math homework!

Thank you for this great video.

Another way is to get 1 from 6 and rename it 5/5, 6 becomes a mixed number which is 5 5/5, so 5 5/5 - 1/5= 5 4/5

7/1-2/3 three 3÷1=3 and 3×7=21 next side 3÷3=1 1×2=2 so 21-2 3/3 21-2=19 and copy the three the answer is 19/3 and for the shortest 19÷3=6 may Isang Hindi nasama at icocopy monalng Yung baba so Ang sagot ay 6⅓ Ang lahat Ng sagot ay 19/3 and 6⅓

❤❤❤❤❤ I love you Sir thanks for making it easy for me 😘😘😘 I really understand now I can add and subtract off hand

I really don't remember how to do this stuff or is this the new math. However, I still figure out the answer without doing any one of the methods

19/3 or 6 ⅓ is the answer because 3÷1 (7) = 21 and 3÷3 (2) = 2, 21-2/3 = 19/3 and to simplify this fraction we need to divide the numerator to denominator. The final answer is 6 ⅓

19/3 or 6 1/3 is my answer Thank you teacher Gon for your lessons

1/5 = 0,2. From there 6 - 0.2 = 5.8. End. Otherwise we make difficult what is easy.

For some reason my brain goes into meltdown when it comes to maths

6 - 1/5 is 4.8 all day long

19/3 or 6 1/3✨ Thank you Sir! Narerefresh utak ko HAHA

6 1/3 = 19/3 method#1

So simple everyone basic math and fractions

Isn't it just common sense that it would be 5 4/5 ?

THANK

damn i thought i got then he js started yapping please pray 4 me guys

This guy explains how to open a door by telling you to take out the hinges and then remove the complete door. Everyone else: or you use the door handle.

Solving fractions is more easy with vedic mathematics method . We can do mental calculations within 2 seconds tell the answer

just put 1 as denominator of 6 and apply butterfly method, so easy

Thankyou sir really it helped me a lot can you please teach 2/5*4/7

Once you have the same denominator; you can add or subtract.

Got the answer in seconds.

My answer is 6 1/3

Subrang linaw ang pag didiscuss mo😍

Thanks شكرا

19/3 or 6-1/3

My answer for the given assignment is 6 1/3 . I used the method#2.

Salamat!

Thank you so much iam finding this

Thanks

He makes it more complicated than necessary!! I hope to God he's not a math teacher!!

the answer to the question is 19/3 in mixed it it 6 1/3

Hello, how we get the lcd?

21/3 - 2/3 = 19/3 6 1/3

I am 71 and learned 2nd method in school as easiest

5(1-1/5)= 5 4/5

Great !

Seems like a lot of words to say that 6 = ³⁰\⁵ take ⅕ from it for ²⁹\⁵. I did this calculation in my head as the screen was loading.

Ty for show to how complate .i know it😊🤩

Just solved using the second method is 3 whole number 3/5 ? Please let me know if I’m correct sir

I'm sorry but would you even need to write this down. I got the answer in about 4 seconds in my head. I know some of the calculations on here are much more complex but I would expect my 10 year old granddaughter to get this using just mentalist arithmetic.

6-1/5=29/5==5_4/5 7-2/3=19/3==6_1/3==5_4/3

About 0.5 seconds in my head. This is Micky mouse arithmetic.

Well teacher, there was 6 of us, and when we were finished,we were minus a fifth of Jack Daniels

So equals 5

Thanks cher

there is a third method but i prefer method 2 to show proper format of maths writing

1/5=.2 6-.2=5.8 aka 5 4/5

sir alam ko po pilipino kayo at ang nanunuod sa itinituro nyo ay mga pilipino di po kaya mas mauunawaan nila kung tagalog ang salitain nyo sa inyong pg papaliwanag

You are subtracting a fraction from a whole number. Why not add to the fraction to make a whole number, 1/5 + 4/5 = 5, so now you know that your fraction will be 4/5. Subtract 1 from your whole number, which is 5. Answer, 5 4/5. I did this in my head in seconds, it's not that complicated.

Got it 6 and 1/3

7/1-2/3=21-2=19/3

Just one second!

7-2/3= 6 1/3

Mr sir I am confused. Do you want me to add or subtract

6 1/3 tama po ba method #2

5.8

Thank you Sir...

Answer is 6and 1third

❤❤❤❤ 0:14 😊

Sir ganyan din Po ba pag addition need ko lang Po Ngayon Kasi may math quiz bee kmi bukas

Or you don’t need any of that 5 4/5 + 1/5 = 6 also 1/5=.2 6-.2=5.8 which is equal to 5 4/5.

Seriously! Ok if you're doing an exam or test at junior school but come on really what are schools teaching these days 🤦

7-2/3=19/3 or 6 1/3

Both method are same

Still don't understand this 😂

6 1/3 po sir!

Then make the one into 5/5

Method #2 is much easier

Yeah but I could see that the answer was 5 4/5 without doing the long drawn out math.

5 4/5 is correct

Mahirap pa yan eh....6 is 5 5/5 so 5 & 5/5 - 1/5 is 5 & 4/5

Teaher how did to Last the number is 4 po paano po naging 4

In method 1 where he get 29/5?

Sir what if yung fraction 23/56

Just subtract 6 by one

It equals more sober than 6 plus one fifth.

19/3 ,6 1/3

tr gon pano po nakuha ung 4 sa 5 4/5

Thanks, " chingon"

Yeah

This nuts!

6.1/3

Man..such a difficult question...😐
