The sum of two numbers is 88; one number is 12 less than the other. What is the larger number? 1. Cut the number in half. Write both halves on your paper. 2. Cut the in half. 3. Now ADD half and SUBTRACT half from each side.

50

Step-by-step explanation:

I have set up an equation, where 'x' is the larger number:

x + (x - 12) = 88

Solve for 'x':

x + (x - 12) = 88  

x + x - 12 = 88

2x - 12 = 88

2x -12 + 12 = 88 + 12

2x =  100

2x/2 = 100/2

x = 50

The larger number should be 50.

there are 36 inches in a yard

25 : 36 = 0.69 yards (you can round to 0.70)
