Timothy is 13 5/6 years old. Camden is 1 1/3 years younger than Timothy and Jane is 1 1/4 years younger than Camden. How old is Jane?

Answer:

Jane is 11 1/4 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract all of the numbers given.

[tex]13\frac{5}{6} -1\frac{1}{3} -1\frac{1}{4}[/tex].

To subtract this, we need to find a common denominator.

A common denominator in this situation is 12. To do this multiply the 5 and the 6 of 5/6 by 2. Multiply the 1 and the 3 of 1/3 by 4. And multiply the 1 and the 4 1/4 by 3.

The new expression will look like this:

[tex]13\frac{10}{12} -1\frac{4}{12} -1\frac{3}{12}[/tex].

Now we can subtract.

[tex]13\frac{10}{12} -1\frac{4}{12} -1\frac{3}{12}=11\frac{3}{12}[/tex]

Reduce the answer.

[tex]11\frac{3}{12}=11\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

In decimal form 11.25

Hope this helps!
