Answer 1

Answer:

55/7

30/14 +48/ 14 = 78/ 14 = 39/9

12-29/7= 55/7

Answer 2

answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Length – Length of two pieces

$12 - 2 \frac{1}{7} + 5 \frac{3}{14}$

Convert into improper fraction

$12 - \frac{15}{7} + \frac{73}{14}$

$12 - \frac{30 + 73}{14}$

$\frac{12}{1} - \frac{103}{14}$

$\frac{168 - 103}{14} = \frac{65}{14}$

In lowest form

$4whole \: \frac{9}{14}$
