Question

Making tril mix 5 1/3 ounces of nuts and 2 3/4 of raisins now much more nuts than raisins

Answer 1

Answer:

2 7/12 more nuts than raisins.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you identify the operation which is subtraction. Then you subtract 5 1/3 and 2 3/4 by finding the common denominator for 3 and 4. With doing that, one of the fractions should be 4/12 and the other being 9/12. Since you cannot subtract 4/12 to 9/12, you regroup so the whole number, 5 becomes into a 4. then you subtract 16/12 to 9/12 which equals to 7/12. Now you have to subtract 4-2 which is 2. Your difference should be 2 7/12. Hope this helped. :)
