Answer 1

The required number is

0.27

Let the number be A.

According to the question;

$\frac{7}{12} - A = \frac{5}{16} \\ A = \frac{7}{12} - \frac{5}{16} \\ A = \frac{112 - 60}{192} \\ A = \frac{52}{192} \\ A ≈0.27$

☆ANSWER☆

let the number is x

by the question,

$\frac{7}{12} - x = \frac{5}{16} \\ = > x = \frac{7}{12} - \frac{5}{16} \\ = > x = \frac{4 \times 7 - 3 \times 5}{48} \\ = > x = \frac{28 - 15}{48} \\ = > x = \frac{13}{48}$
