Sandy bought 12 7/8 pounds of peaches to make jam. She and her mother ate 0.75 of a pound of the peaches before making the jam.
They used 9 3/8 pounds of the peaches to make the jam. How many pounds of peaches were left over? SHOW WORK or i'll just take your answer off and let someone else answer -3-
Step-by-step explanation: make 12 7/8 into a decimal then subtract 0.75 to 12.875 than you have 12.125 now you subtract 9. 375 to 12.125 and you have your answer I hope this is right
Work- 1. Turn .75 into a fraction which is 3/4. 2. Then change the denominator to be common with the other which would make it 6/8. 3. Then make 12 7/8 into a improper fraction which is 103/8 and subtract the 6/8 to get 97/8. 4. Then change 9 3/8 into an improper fraction which is 75/8. 5. Subtract 75/8 from 97/8 to get 22/8. 6. Lastly, change it to a mixed number which would come out to be 2 6/8.
The answer is 29. If you put it in an equation, it looks like 90=(x*3)+3. If you -3 from each side, you get 87=x*3. Divide each side by 3, and you get x=29.
