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

3 3/4

Explanation:

12 5/8=101/8

8 7/8=71/8

101-71=30

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

Answer 2

`3(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

`12(5)/(8) -8(7)/(8)`

First, make it as an improper fraction.

`(101)/(8) -(71)/(8)`

Now simply subtract the fractions.

`(101-71)/(8)`

`(30)/(8)`

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

For that, divide both sides by 2.

`(15)/(4)`

And now let us write it as a mixed number.

`(15)/(4)` ⇒
`3(3)/(4)`

Hope this helps you :)

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