The simplest form of the given expression
is 
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, expression is 3 11/12 – 1 4/12 
We have to find the simplest form of the value derived from the given expression.
Now, first let us solve the given equation.

converting mixed fractions to improper fractions.


As there are no common terms to cancel it is in lowest form.
Hence, the lowest form of the given expression is 
When you are rounding to the nearest tenth, you only look at the number right to the tenths which in this case is 5, so you round up the 6 to a 7, which will be.
8.7
Some points are (7,3) and (-7,-5).
It depends on how you count them. If you describe them by their dimensions, lowest one first, you can have
1 x 1 x 18
1 x 2 x 9
1 x 3 x 6
2 x 3 x 3
Of course, these dimensions can be put in any order.
