Answer:

o Michael has 2 and 1/12th pies left to serve.

Step-by-step explanation:

o Total pies = 10

o Pies served-

o Cherry pies = 2 and 3/4

o Peach pies = 1 and 2/3

o Apple pies = 3 and 1/2

o Add the fractions and reduce to get 2 and 1/12

Answer 2

Answer:

$2\frac{1}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Work out how much he served in total

$2\frac{3}{4}+1\frac{2}{3} +3\frac{1}{2} =2\frac{9}{12}+1\frac{8}{12} +3\frac{6}{12}=6\frac{23}{12} =7\frac{11}{12}$

→ Subtract from total

$10-7\frac{11}{12} = 10-\frac{95}{12} =\frac{120}{12} -\frac{95}{12} =\frac{25}{12} =2\frac{1}{12}$
