Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To subtract these mixed numbers, first convert them to improper fractions: $38 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{116}{3}$ and $25 \frac{13}{16} = \frac{413}{16}$. To subtract, find a common denominator, which is 48 in this case. So, $\frac{116}{3} = \frac{1856}{48}$ and $\frac{413}{16} = \frac{1239}{48}$. Subtracting these gives $\frac{617}{48}$, which simplifies to $12 \frac{41}{48}$.
