Question

You were given 12 math problems for homework. You completed 5/12 of them at school. Which equation shows how to find the fraction of the problems you still need to do to complete your homework?

7/12 – 5/12 = 2/0

12/12 – 5/12 = 7/12

7/12 – 5/12 = 2/12

12/12 – 5/12 = 7/0

Answer 1

7/12

Imagine this:

you had a block set with 12 blocks in it

you built a tower with 5 blocks (5/12)

You have 7 blocks left (7/12)

5/12 + 7/12 = 12/12 = 1
