Answer:

[tex] \boxed{ \bold{2 \frac{1}{6} }}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] 5\frac{5}{12} \: - \: 3 \frac{1}{4} [/tex]

  • It must be subtracted separately because on the one hand they are whole numbers and on the other mixed numbers.

[tex](5 \: - \: 3) \: + \: ( \frac{5}{12} \: - \: \frac{1}{4} )[/tex]

  • Mixed and whole numbers are subtracted and remain like this.

[tex]2 \: + \: \frac{1}{6} [/tex]

  • We interpret it in a mixed number (fraction).

[tex] \boxed{ \bold{2 \frac{1}{6} }}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]2\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]5\frac{5}{12} -3\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

First, make these two fractions mixed numbers.

[tex]\frac{65}{12} -\frac{13}{4}[/tex]

Now multiply the numerator and denominator by 3 in 13/4 to make the denominators equal.

[tex]\frac{65}{12} -\frac{13*3}{4*3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{65}{12} -\frac{39}{12}[/tex]

Now subtract the fractions.

[tex]\frac{65-39}{12} \\\\\frac{26}{12}[/tex]

Now write the answer as a mixed number.

[tex]2\frac{2}{12}[/tex]

To simplify the answer divide numerator and denominator by 2.

[tex]2\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
