Answer:
(b) 2 32/48
Explanation:
You want the value of the expression 8 4/8 -5 5/6.
Subtraction
The difference of the mixed numbers can be found as the sum of the differences of the integer parts and fractional parts.
(8 4/8) -(5 5/6) = (8 -5) +(4/8 -5/6)
= 3 + ((24 -40)/48) = 3 - 16/48
= 2 +(48/48 -16/48) . . . . . . . rewrite 3 to give a positive fraction part
= 2 32/48 . . . . matches the 2nd choice
