To find out how much fertilizer the farmer will have left, we need to subtract the amount required for the corn fields from the total amount ordered. First, convert the fractions: \[ \frac{133}{10} - \frac{31}{10} = \frac{133 - 31}{10} = \frac{102}{10} \] Now, simplify \(\frac{102}{10}\): \[ \frac{102}{10} = \frac{51}{5} \] Now we can convert \(\frac{51}{5}\) to a mixed number: \[ \frac{51}{5} = 10 \frac{1}{5} \] So, the farmer will have \( 10 \frac{1}{5} \) tons of fertilizer left for his other crops.
