1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve two math problems.
First, 11413=?1 \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3} = ?
Second, 6042÷6=?60 - 42 \div 6 = ?

2. Solution Steps

For the first problem, 114131 \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3}:
First, we convert the mixed number 1141 \frac{1}{4} to an improper fraction.
114=1×4+14=541 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{5}{4}
So, the problem becomes 5413\frac{5}{4} - \frac{1}{3}.
Next, we find a common denominator for the fractions. The least common multiple of 4 and 3 is
1

2. $\frac{5}{4} = \frac{5 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{15}{12}$

13=1×43×4=412\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 4}{3 \times 4} = \frac{4}{12}
Now we can subtract the fractions.
1512412=15412=1112\frac{15}{12} - \frac{4}{12} = \frac{15-4}{12} = \frac{11}{12}
For the second problem, 6042÷660 - 42 \div 6:
According to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), we must perform division before subtraction.
42÷6=742 \div 6 = 7
So, the problem becomes 60760 - 7.
607=5360 - 7 = 53

3. Final Answer

The answer to the first problem is 1112\frac{11}{12}.
The answer to the second problem is 5353.
