Here's the step-by-step solution to verify your answer: 4 2/3 - 2 1/12 = (4 * 3 + 2)/3 - (2 * 12 + 1)/12 (convert mixed numbers to improper fractions) = 14/3 - 25/12 = (14 * 4)/3*4 - 25*3/12*3 (find a common denominator of 12) = 56/12 - 75/12 = -19/12 Now, we need to convert the improper fraction -19/12 back to a mixed number: -19/12 = -1 7/12 Therefore, 4 2/3 - 2 1/12 = 2 7/12 as you have correctly answered. |
