Answer:
[tex]3\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]12\frac{5}{8} -8\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
First, make it as an improper fraction.
[tex]\frac{101}{8} -\frac{71}{8}[/tex]
Now simply subtract the fractions.
[tex]\frac{101-71}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{30}{8}[/tex]
Then let us write it in it's simplest form.
For that, divide both sides by 2.
[tex]\frac{15}{4}[/tex]
And now let us write it as a mixed number.
[tex]\frac{15}{4}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]3\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Hope this helps you :)
