To subtract the mixed numbers \( 4 \frac{7}{12} \) and \( 3 \frac{2}{12} \), follow these steps: 1. **Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions:** - \( 4 \frac{7}{12} = \frac{4 \times 12 + 7}{12} = \frac{48 + 7}{12} = \frac{55}{12} \) - \( 3 \frac{2}{12} = \frac{3 \times 12 + 2}{12} = \frac{36 + 2}{12} = \frac{38}{12} \) 2. **Subtract the Improper Fractions:** \[ \frac{55}{12} - \frac{38}{12} = \frac{55 - 38}{12} = \frac{17}{12} \] 3. **Convert the Result Back to a Mixed Number:** \[ \frac{17}{12} = 1 \frac{5}{12} \] **Therefore, the correct answer is \( 1 \frac{5}{12} \).** From the options provided: - \( 4 \frac{5}{12} \) - \( 4 \frac{1}{12} \) - \( 1 \frac{5}{12} \) The correct choice is: **\( 1 \frac{5}{12} \)**
