Answer 1

Given:

The expression is given as,

`14(10)/(12)-9(4)/(12)`

The objective is to subtract the given terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression can be subtracted by converting the mixed fraction as,

`=((14*12)+10)/(12)-((9*12)+4)/(12)`

On further solving the above expression,

`\begin{gathered} =(168+10)/(12)-(108+4)/(12) \\ =(178)/(12)-(112)/(12) \\ =(66)/(12) \end{gathered}`

On simplifying the above result,

`(66)/(12)=(11)/(2)`

Hence, the simplified value of the expression is 11/2.
