Answer: 4 9/10

Step-by-step explanation: You need to subtract 12 2/5 and 7 1/2.

The two fractions have different denominators. Multiply to find a common denominator

2/5 x 2/2 = 4/10

1/2 x 5/5 = 5/10

Now you have 12 4/10 minus 7 5/10. But you cannot subtract 4/10 and 5/10 equally.

Subtract 12 - 1 and add 1 to 4/10.

12 - 1 = 11

10/10 (10/10 is 1) + 4/10 = 14/10

Now you have 11 14/10 minus 7 5/10. Subtract.

11 - 7 = 4

14/10 - 5/10 = 9/10

That makes 4 9/10.

Hope this is helpful :)

Okay so first we want to find out how many cans one person uses a year. To find this we divide 16,801 by 53 and we get 317 cans a year. Using this we can find how many cans 1,694,000 people use a year by multiplying the people by 317. You get 536,998,000 cans a year, which is your answer.

<span>Presumably, the opposite of decimals are fractions because by dividing the two numbers you get the decimal value of the fractional form of the number. Refer to the example below.

1. 12 feet = 144 inches

15 feet = 180 inches

144 inches / 8 inches = 18

180 inches / 10 inches = 18

The scale factor was 18.

2. Volume = Length x Width X height:

Volume = 16 x 13 x 11 = 2,288 cubic inches.
