Answer:
17 28/96 or simplify it to 17 7/18
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the denominators 12 and 8 share a common factor of 96 i did.
7 * 8 =56 7 *12 = 84
12 * 8 = 96 8 *12 = 96
Subtracted 25 -8 got 17 and did 84-56 and gotten 28.
Gotten then simplified and got
since a common factor of 28 and 96 so happened to be 4

Answer: 3 2/3 Yards
Step-by-step Solution:
In order to solve this problem, you'll want to set up a conversion equation.
** 1 Yard = 3 Feet **
To convert these measurements you'll need to write this conversion factor as a conversion ratio. Your ratio will be 1 yard / 3 feet. This fraction is actually equal to 1, meaning we can multiply it by any number to convert the units without changing its value.
You can then solve by using simple division. I will attach a photo of the steps I did by hand.
** Canceling the units will help avoid confusion **
After you reach the 6th step, all you have to do to find your mixed number is see how many times 3 fits into 11.
3 can go into 11 3 times, with a remainder of 2. Your final answer should be 3 2/3 yards.
I hope this helps! c:
