Question

Travis jogged 3 7/12 miles in the morning. in the afternoon he jogged 2 5/12 miles how many fewer miles did Travis jogged in the afternoon than in the morning

Answer 1

First, we set up our equation.

3 7/12 - 2 5/12

We subtract our whole numbers first.

3-2=1

Then, we subtract the numerators. 7-5=2.

Now our problem looks like this so far:

1 2/12

Our final step is to simplify.

Our final answer is 1 1/6.

Have a nice day! :)

Answer 2

you have to subtract 3 7/12= 43/12
2 5/12= 29/12
43/12-29/12 = 7/6 OR 1 1/6
