Respuesta :
you have to subtract 3 7/12= 43/12
2 5/12= 29/12
43/12-29/12 = 7/6 OR 1 1/6
2 5/12= 29/12
43/12-29/12 = 7/6 OR 1 1/6
First, we set up our equation.
3 7/12 - 2 5/12
We subtract our whole numbers first.
3-2=1
Then, we subtract the numerators. 7-5=2.
Now our problem looks like this so far:
1 2/12
Our final step is to simplify.
Our final answer is 1 1/6.
Have a nice day! :)
