Answer 1

Answer:

$12 \frac{1}{5} - x = 11 \frac{3}{4}$

$→ \: x = 11 \frac{3}{4} - 12 \frac{1}{5}$

$→x = \: 1\frac{15 - 4}{20}$

$→ \:x = 1 \frac{11}{20}$

Answer 2

Answer:

9/20 should be subtracted from 12⅕ to get 11¾.

To find:

• What should be subtracted from 12⅕ to get 11¾?

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will assume that x should be subtracted from 12⅕ to get 11¾ which means when we subtract i.e, minus x from 12⅕, it is equal to 11¾. Thus, forming an adequate equation and doing basic mathematical calculations, we can easily find the value of x which is nothing but the number that should be subtracted from 12⅕ to get 11¾.

Let's find out...

According to the question,

• 12⅕ - x = 11¾
• 61/5 - x = 47/4
• 61/5 = 47/4 + x
• x = 61/5 - 47/4
• x = (244 - 235)/20
• x = 9/20

Verification:

L.H.S

• = 12⅕ - 9/20
• = 61/5 - 9/20
• = (244 - 9)/20
• = 235/20
• = 47/4
• = 11¾

= R.H.S

Hence Verified!!
