Subtract.14 10/12 - 9 4/12

Sagot :

Given:

The expression is given as,

[tex]14\frac{10}{12}-9\frac{4}{12}[/tex]

The objective is to subtract the given terms.

Explanation:

The expression can be subtracted by converting the mixed fraction as,

[tex]=\frac{(14\times12)+10}{12}-\frac{(9\times12)+4}{12}[/tex]

On further solving the above expression,

[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{168+10}{12}-\frac{108+4}{12} \\ =\frac{178}{12}-\frac{112}{12} \\ =\frac{66}{12} \end{gathered}[/tex]

On simplifying the above result,

[tex]\frac{66}{12}=\frac{11}{2}[/tex]

Hence, the simplified value of the expression is 11/2.
