Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.55 Add and Subtract Mixed Numbers with Regrouping skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
True or False: 7 7/10 − 5 11/15 = 2 29/30.
ATrue
BFalse
Solution & Explanation:Use common denominator 30: 7/10 = 21/30 and 11/15 = 22/30. Since 21/30 is less than 22/30, regroup 7 7/10 as 6 51/30. Then subtract the whole numbers and fractional parts to get 1 29/30. The correct value is 1 29/30, so the statement is false.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
True or False: 4 7/12 + 4 7/8 = 9 11/24.
ATrue
BFalse
Solution & Explanation:Use common denominator 24: 7/12 = 14/24 and 7/8 = 21/24. Add the whole numbers and fractions: 4 + 4 = 8, and 14/24 + 21/24 = 35/24. Regroup 35/24 as 1 11/24, then simplify to 9 11/24.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Which explanation best fixes the mistake in the problem 3 1/8 − 2 19/20?
AKeep the answer 1 7/40 because only the whole numbers need to be checked.
BAdd or subtract the denominators first, then simplify the whole-number part.
CRegroup the first mixed number with denominator 40; the correct simplified answer is 7/40.
DChange only the second fraction to denominator 40 and leave the first fraction unchanged.
Solution & Explanation:Use common denominator 40: 1/8 = 5/40 and 19/20 = 38/40. Since 5/40 is less than 38/40, regroup 3 1/8 as 2 45/40. Then subtract the whole numbers and fractional parts to get 7/40. This fixes the error by using equivalent fractions and regrouping when needed.
