This would basically be :
5 1/3 - 3 9/18
Then, make both fractions share a common denominator
5 6/18 - 3 9/18
Then, change the first number to make it compatible to subtract
4 24/18 - 3 9/18 = 1 15/18
Simplify
1 15/18 = 1 5/6
Your answer is 104 square inches because you have to find the area of the top rectangle by multiplying 12 x 7, then find the area of the bottom square by multiplying 5 x 4, and then add both answers together which equals 104 square centimeters ;)

Since he gave away 4 pencils,
Total = 5 + 4 = 9
Mr. Simms use and give away total 9 pencils.
