Answer 1

Answer:

7$\frac{1}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

$9\frac{8}{12} - 2\frac{7}{12} = 7\frac{1}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, first we convert these mixed fractions into improper fractions;

$9 \frac{8}{12}$ = [ (12*9) + 8]

$9 \frac{8}{12} = \frac{116}{12}$

$2\frac{7}{12} =$ [(12*2)+ 7]

$2\frac{7}{12} = \frac{31}{12}$

Now subtracting the improper fractions;

$\frac{116}{12} - \frac{31}{12}$

= $\frac{85}{12}$

Converting to improper fraction;

When we divide 85 with 12, we get 7 as the quotient and 1 as the remainder.

$Improper\ fraction = quotient \frac{remainder}{divisor}$

So we get = $7\frac{1}{12}$
