Answer:

(B)
(10)/(10)-(7)/(10)=(3)/(10)

Explanation:

The question is Incomplete. Find the complete question in the attachment.

Number of muffins made by Franco =12

Number of Badly Burnt Muffins =2

Number of non burned muffins =12-2=10

Franco served
(7)/(10) $ of the non burned muffins = $ (7)/(10)*10=7$ muffins

Therefore, the number of non burned muffins that remains =10-7 =3

We can then say the fraction of the non-burned muffins that remains
=(3)/(10)

Therefore, the correct equation is in Option B:


(10)/(10)-(7)/(10)=(3)/(10)
