Question

Is the difference between 4 3/8 and 3 5/12 equal to 23/24?

Answer 1

Yes, because first you turn both into improper fractions which was 35/8 and 41/12. Then you get a common denominator between the two which would be 105/24 and 82/24. 105-82=23 which would give you 23/24. 

Answer 2

Yes, it is.

To find the answer, we first have to convert the two fractions into improper fractions by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and then adding the numerator. This gives us 35/8 and 41/12

Now we need to make both fractions have the same denominator by multiplying them. We can make both denominators 24 by multiplying 35/8 by 3, and 41/12 by 2, which then gives us 105/24 and 82/24

To find the difference, we subtract, and 105 - 82 = 23, so it is equal to 23/24.

I hope this helps!
