She have left money about $1.90 and it is in a fraction of  \(1 \frac{9}{10}\)

Further explanation

The fraction is a number that represents a part of a whole. The fraction consists of a numerator and a denominator, where the numerator represents the number of equal parts of a whole and the denominator is the total number of parts that make up said whole.  

The three types of fractions are :

  • Proper fraction.
  • Improper fraction.
  • Mixed fraction.

To Solve Fraction Questions in Math, we need to:

  1. Note that the numerator is on the top and the denominator is on the bottom
  2. Turn a whole number into a fraction by putting it over 1
  3. Reduce fractions if you need to simplify them
  4. Learn to turn mixed numbers into improper fractions.
  5. Figure out how to convert improper fractions into mixed numbers

5.50 + 2.60 = 8.10 ==> This is what that she bought

10.00 - 8.10 = 1.90 ==> This is her change.

It is 1.90 because \(5\frac{1}{2}\) is \(5.5\) so add it to \(2.60\) and then subtract it from \(10\).

If you have .1 it is equal to 1 tenth, which is equal to \(\frac{1}{10}\). So if you have .9 or .90 it would be equal to \(\frac{9}{10}\) or  \(\frac{9}{100}\)

$1.90 is in a fraction of  \(1 \frac{9}{10}\)

It is 1.90 because \(5\frac{1}{2}\) is \(5.5\) so add it to \(2.60\) and then subtract it from 10

If you have \(0.1\) it is equal to 1 tenth, which is equal to \(\frac{1}{10}\) So if you have .9 or .90 it would be equal to \(\frac{9}{10}\) or \(\frac{9}{100}\)
