Answer:
A) 2 5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
The word MORE refers to subtraction. If you know how to calculate fractions. Great! You should know what 2 3/4 - 1/3 equals. But if you do not:
You can use a regular calculator. Just convert everything to decimals. ( "/" means divide)
3/4 (3÷4) = 0.75 (dont forget the 2 since is has 2 3/4) so 2.75.
1/3 (1÷3) = 0.333 (underline or overline (above the number) means that number repeats. if you are using a calculator. just max the numbers out till you can put it anymore.
2.75 - 0.3 = 2.416. Now you dont know what that 416 is so just subtract the answers until it matches.
B) 1 ÷ 12 = 0.83. well it isnt 416 so that isnt right.
4 ÷ 7 = 0.571... (... means a bunch of numbers that go on and on.) again that isnt correct. Now lets try A):
5 ÷ 12 = 0.416!
Hope this helps!
