Question

okay another one I thought I broke this equation down right to show my daughter but it was incorrect the answer I picked. hope someone can walk me thru it ​

Answer 1

Answer:

3 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

12 5/8=101/8

8 7/8=71/8

101-71=30

30/8=3 6/8=3 3/4

Answer 2

Answer:

$3\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$12\frac{5}{8} -8\frac{7}{8}$

First, make it as an improper fraction.

$\frac{101}{8} -\frac{71}{8}$

Now simply subtract the fractions.

$\frac{101-71}{8}$

$\frac{30}{8}$

Then let us write it in it's simplest form.

For that, divide both sides by 2.

$\frac{15}{4}$

And now let us write it as a mixed number.

$\frac{15}{4}$ ⇒ $3\frac{3}{4}$

Hope this helps you :)

Let me know if you have any other questions :-)
