Question

What is 14 7/12 minus 5 1/4 simplified

Answer 1

Answer:

9 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate 14 7/12 minus 5 1/4, recognize that the LCD here is 12 and that 5 1/4 must therefore be changed to 5 3/12.

Subtracting 5 3/12 from 14 7/12 yields  9 4/12, which, after reduction, is

9 1/3
