Answer 1

Answer: First box 3¼, second box 3⅓, third box 3½ and fourth box 3¹/6

Step-by-step explanation: For the first expression,

12½ - 9¼

= 25/2 - 37/4 (use 4 as the LCM)

= (50 - 37)/4

=13/4

= 3¼

For the second expression

5¾ - 2 5/12

= 23/4 - 29/12 (use 12 as the LCM)

= (69 - 29)/12

= 40/12 (express 40/12 to 10/3 in it's simplest form)

= 10/3

= 3⅓

For the third expression

7 1/5 - 3 7/10

= 36/5 - 37/10 (use 10 as the LCM)

= (72 - 37)/10

= 35/10 (express 35/10 to 7/2 in it's simplest form)

= 7/2

= 3½

For the fourth expression

11⅔ - 8½

= 35/3 - 17/2

= (70 - 51)/6 (use 6 as the LCM)

= 19/6

= 3 1/6
