2 1/2 = 2.5
12 1/2 = 12.5
This means you can calculate how may times it goes in by dividing it and rounding the number down:
12.5 / 2.5 = 5
*5 can not be rounded down so it stays the same
This means that 2 1/2 goes into 12 1/2 5 times. Hope this helps! :)
1/3 and 3/8
First, you would need to find the lowest common multiple.
It would be 24.
Change both fractions to fractions with a denominator of 24
1/3*8=8/24
3/8*3=9/24
You can see that 9 is greater that 8. Therefore 3/8 is greater.
Sum= positive 30 because you add the opposite
The difference between the numbers is also 30
