Question

next round! follow the three clues to find a hidden treasure. clue 2: start at $6\frac{1}{7}$ and subtract $\frac{1}{7}$. $6\frac{1}{7} - \frac{1}{7} = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Separate the mixed number

We can write the mixed number \(6\frac{1}{7}\) as \(6 + \frac{1}{7}\). So the expression \(6\frac{1}{7}-\frac{1}{7}\) becomes \((6+\frac{1}{7})-\frac{1}{7}\).

Step2: Subtract the fractions

Now, we subtract the fractional parts: \(\frac{1}{7}-\frac{1}{7} = 0\). Then we are left with the whole number part, which is \(6\). So \((6+\frac{1}{7})-\frac{1}{7}=6 + (\frac{1}{7}-\frac{1}{7})=6+0 = 6\).

Answer:

\(6\)
