Step-by-step explanation:

5 4/5 - 3 1/12

Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions:

(multiply denominator with the whole number, that is 5 and then add 4)

$5 \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{29}{5}$

$3 \times \frac{1}{12} = \frac{37}{12}$

Now take LCM of the denominators

LCM OF 5 AND 2 IS 60.

Make denominator equal to 60. (Convert to Like fractions)

29/5 × 12/12 = 348/60

37/12 × 5/5 = 185/60

Subtract

348/60 - 185/60 = 163/60

OR 2.717

Ur answer.
