Question

ms bloom had 4 /7/12 boxes of pencils but 2/1/12 boxes of pencils were broken after she threw out the broken pencils how many boxes of pencils were left

Answer 1

Concluding, there are (2 + 12) boxes of pencils left.

How many boxes of pencils were left?

We know that Ms. Bloom had (4 + 7/12) boxes of pencils, and we also know that (2 + 1/12) of the boxes were broken.

The number of boxes of pencils left is given by the difference between the two above numbers, then we get:

N = (4 + 7/12) - (2 + 1/12) = (4 - 2) + (7/12 - 1/12) = 2 + 6/12

Now we can simplify the fraction:

N = 2 + 1/2

Concluding, there are (2 + 12) boxes of pencils left.
