What fraction of Amir's stamps are from Spain?
__________ of Amir's stamps

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To find the total fraction of the stamps that are from Spain, we need to subtract.

7/12 - 1/6 = Stamps from Spain

2. Our denominators need to be the same so we can subtract.

What is the least common multiple for the denominators 12 and 6?

3. The least common multiple of 12 and 6 is 12

$\frac{1}{6}$ × $\frac{2}{2}$ = $\frac{2}{12}$

4. Now, we can subtract our fractions.

$\frac{7}{12}$ - $\frac{2}{12}$ = $\frac{5}{12}$

5. $\frac{5}{12\\}$ of Amir's stamp collection comes from Spain.
