Question

What is the answer to the factor equation of 12 1/3 subtract 5 2/3

Answer 1

The answer to the factor expression is
`(20)/(3)`

Therefore
`12(1)/(3)-5(2)/(3)=(20)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given that the factor expression is
`12(1)/(3)-5(2)/(3)`

Now convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction as below :

`12(1)/(3)-5(2)/(3)=(37)/(3)-(17)/(3)`

`=(37-17)/(3)`

`=(20)/(3)`

Therefore
`12(1)/(3)-5(2)/(3)=(20)/(3)`

The answer to the factor expression is
`(20)/(3)`
