Answer:

4 5/6 or 29/6

Explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 8 1/

4

to a improper fraction: 8 1/4 = 8 1/

4

= 8 · 4 + 1/

4

= 32 + 1/

4

= 33/

4

To find a new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 8 by the denominator 4. Whole number 8 equally 8 * 4/

4

= 32/

4

b) Add the answer from previous step 32 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 32 + 1 = 33

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 33) over the denominator 4.

Eight and one quarter is thirty-three quarters

Conversion a mixed number 3 5/

12

to a improper fraction: 3 5/12 = 3 5/

12

= 3 · 12 + 5/

12

= 36 + 5/

12

= 41/

12

To find a new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 3 by the denominator 12. Whole number 3 equally 3 * 12/

12

= 36/

12

b) Add the answer from previous step 36 to the numerator 5. New numerator is 36 + 5 = 41

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 41) over the denominator 12.

Three and five twelfths is forty-one twelfths

Subtract: 33/

4

- 41/

12

= 33 · 3/

4 · 3

- 41/

12

= 99/

12

- 41/

12

= 99 - 41/

12

= 58/

12

= 2 · 29/

2 · 6

= 29/
