Answer:

B.
5(1)/(3)

Explanation:


9(7)/(12)-4(3)/(12)

Because they already have the same denominator you can subtract right away,

First, subtract the whole numbers,

Whole numbers: 9 and 4

9 - 4 = 5

5 is your new whole number,

You can already mark off answer A because it has a 6 for the whole number,

Now subtract the fractions,

(You cannot subtract the denominators! For the denominators stay the same!)


(7)/(12) -(3)/(12)=(4)/(12)

Simplify
(4)/(12):


(4)/(12) =(2)/(6) =(1)/(3)

One-third is the lowest it can be simplifyed,

Therefore the answer is
5(1)/(3), option ⇒ B.
