Answer:

D. 3 1/12

Explanation:

[tex]\rightarrow \sf 4\dfrac{1}{3} -1\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

convert into improper fraction

[tex]\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{13}{3} -\dfrac{5}{4}[/tex]

make the denominators same. 12 is the common factor of both 3 and 4

[tex]\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{13(4)}{12} -\dfrac{5(3)}{12}[/tex]

simplify

[tex]\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{52}{12} -\dfrac{15}{12}[/tex]

join both fraction

[tex]\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{52-15}{12}[/tex]

simplify

[tex]\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{37}{12}[/tex]

convert into mixed fraction

[tex]\rightarrow \sf 3\dfrac{1}{12}[/tex]
