Find the difference.

Answer 1

$5.\\12\dfrac{3}{10}-7\dfrac{7}{10}=11\dfrac{10+3}{10}-7\dfrac{7}{10}=11\dfrac{13}{10}-7\dfrac{7}{10}=4\dfrac{6}{10}=4\dfrac{6:2}{10:2}=\boxed{5\dfrac{3}{5}}\\\\11-7=4\\\\\dfrac{13}{10}-\dfrac{7}{10}=\dfrac{13-7}{10}=\dfrac{6}{10}\\\\6.\\8\dfrac{1}{6}-3\dfrac{5}{6}=7\dfrac{6+1}{6}-3\dfrac{5}{6}=7\dfrac{7}{6}-3\dfrac{5}{6}=(7-3)+\dfrac{7-5}{6}=4\dfrac{2}{6}=4\dfrac{2:2}{6:2}=\boxed{4\dfrac{1}{3}}$

$9.\\7\dfrac{1}{6}-2\dfrac{5}{6}=6\dfrac{6+1}{6}-2\dfrac{5}{6}=6\dfrac{7}{6}-2\dfrac{5}{6}=(6-2)+\dfrac{7-5}{6}=4\dfrac{2}{6}=\boxed{4\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\\10.\\9\dfrac{3}{12}-4\dfrac{7}{12}=8\dfrac{12+3}{12}-4\dfrac{7}{12}=8\dfrac{15}{12}-4\dfrac{7}{12}=(8-4)+\dfrac{15-7}{12}=4\dfrac{8}{12}\\\\=4\dfrac{8:4}{12:4}=\boxed{4\dfrac{2}{3}}$
