5/10 - 3/12= as a mixed number fraction

It's 1/4, in its simplest form

It cannot be a mixed number

EXPLANATION:

You're welcome. You find the least common denominator for the two fractions, and that is 60.

Then multiply the numberator and denominator by the number that makes the denominator common. For instance, for 5/10 we would use 6. 10 TIMES 6 IS 60, AND 5 TIMES 6 IS 30. Now its 30/60

We do the same for fraction 2:

12 TIMES 5 IS 60, AND 3 TIMES 5 IS 15. Now its 15/60

Your new question is 30/60 MINUS 15/60. = 15/60. 15/60 reduces to 1/4. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND :)))
