A class uses 8 5/6 sheet of white paper and 3 1/12 sheets of red paper for a project. How much more white paper is used than red paper? Show your work using words, pictures, or numbers. Explain how you know your answer is reasonable

Answer 1

Since 5/6=10/12 then 8 10/12-3 1/12 =5 9/12 and that can be simplified to 3/4.
