Answer:
7/24
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
total items barbequed = 1
Veggie burgers = 3/8
Corn cobs =1/3
Mushroom caps = x
Veggie burgers + corn cobs + x = 1
3/8 + 1/3 + x = 1
9+8 /24 + x = 1
17/24 + x = 1
x= 1 - 17/24
=24-17 /24
= 7/24
x = 7/24
Fraction of barbequed items that are mushroom's is 7/24
4 + -1 1/3
Turn 4 into an improper fraction.
4/4 is equal to 12/3. We want both 4 and 1 1/3 to have the same denominator so that they could be subtracted from each other.
New question :
12/3 + - 1 1/3
Turn {-1 1/3} into an improper fraction.
(3 × 1) + 1 = 4/3
So, -1 1/3 = -4/3
Our new question :
12/3 + - 4/3
Simplify.
12/3 - 4/3 = 8/3
Turn into a mixed number.
2 2/3
