7 1/12 - 2 3/4
First we have to change mixed numbers to improper fractions
7 1/12 = 7 x 12 + 1 = 85 85/12
2 3/4 = 2 x 4 + 3 = 11 11/4
85/12 - 11/4
Now we need to find the LCD (least common denominator) for 4 and 12
4, 8, 12
12
12 is our LCD, so it becomes our new denominator
85/12 would stay the same because the denominator wasn't changed but for 11/4 our new denominator is 12, so our fraction will change.
11/4 = 33/12
4 goes into 12, 3 times. What you do to the bottom, you do to the top.
3 x 11 = 33
3 x 4 = 12
So, our new fraction is 33/12. Now we subtract
85/12 - 33/12 = 52/12
Now we convert back to a mixed number
52 ÷ 12 = 4 4/12 reduce
4 1/3
Hope this helps.
Answer:
5/28
Step-by-step explanation:
1/1 represents the whole amount of tickets.
4/7 are sold on Thursday.
an additional 1/4 are did on Friday.
fraction of available tickets on Saturday are therefore
1/1 - 4/7 - 1/4 = 4/1 - 16/7 - 1/1 = 28/1 - 16/1 - 7/1 = 5/1
that means out of 28 equal parts of the total number of tickets 16+7 = 23 parts have been sold.
so, there are only 5 out of the total 28 parts available on Saturday, and the fraction of available tickets is therefore 5/28.
we could have also tried to bring both fractions to the same denominator, and found that this is 28.
and then
4/7 + 1/4 = 4/4 × 4/7 + 7/7 × 1/4 =
= 16/28 + 7/28 = 23/28
and the whole is 28/28.
so we have 28/27 - 23/28 = 5/28 left.
surprise, surprise, it is the same result ...
Answer:
