Answer:

42 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We subtract 26 1/6 from 68 1/2. We do this by finding the LCM of 6 and 2. That is 6. We multiply 1/2 by 3/3 to get 3/6. Now, we subtract. 68 - 26 is 42, and 3/6 - 1/6 is 2/6. Our answer is 42 2/6. That can be simplified to 42 1/3.

Jenny will have 42 whole 1/2 pages left after she reads 26 whole 1/6 pages if Jenny has a total of 68 whole 1/2 pages.

What is a fraction?

Fraction number consists of two parts one is the top of the fraction number which is called the numerator and the second is the bottom of the fraction number which is called the denominator.

We have:

Jenny has  [tex]68\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  pages.

She reads [tex]26\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Let's suppose the remaining pages is x, then the value of x:

[tex]\rm x = 68\frac{1}{2}-26\frac{1}{6}\\\\\rm x = \frac{137}{2}-\frac{157}{6} \\\\\rm x = \frac{411-157}{6} \\\\\rm x = \frac{254}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\rm x = \frac{127}{3}[/tex]  or

[tex]\rm x = 42\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Thus, Jenny will have 42 whole 1/2 pages left after she reads 26 whole 1/6 pages if Jenny has a total of 68 whole 1/2 pages.
