Answer:
Erwin have 1 gallons of lemonade left
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Erwin had 2 5/12 gallons of lemonade. He spilled 11/12 gallon of lemonade. How much lemonade dose he have left? Write in simplest form</em></u>
<u><em /></u>
All we need to do is to subtract 11/12 from 2 5/12. But to do this, we will convert 2 5/12 to improper fraction
converting 2 5/12 to improper fraction yields : 29/12
Lemonade have left = Total lemonade - lemonade spilled
= 29/12 - 11/12
= 18/12
Lemonade have left =18/12
But we can reduce 18/12 to its lowest term
18÷6/ 12÷6 = 3/2
Lemonade have left = 3/2
We can change to 3/2 to a mixed number to give us 1
Therefore Erwin have 1 gallons of lemonade left
