Answer: 55/2

This converts to the decimal form 27.5

=============================================

Work Shown:


(3)/(4)h-12 = 8(5)/(8)\\\\(3)/(4)h-12 = 8+(5)/(8)\\\\8*\left((3)/(4)h-12\right) = 8*\left(8+(5)/(8)\right)\\\\8*\left((3)/(4)h\right)-8*\left(12\right) = 8*\left(8\right)+8*\left((5)/(8)\right)\\\\6h-96 = 64+5\\\\6h-96 = 69\\\\6h = 69+96\\\\6h = 165\\\\h = (165)/(6)\\\\h = (55*3)/(2*3)\\\\h = (55)/(2)\\\\h = 27.5\\\\

In the third step, I multiplied both sides by the LCD 8 to clear out the fractions.
