Answer 2

right

Answer 3

I'll take you through the steps:

1. 16-8=8 for the number that isn't a fraction.

2. Find the common denominator of 3/4 and 5/12. So 4 can go into 12 three times so 4*3=12 and 3*3=9. We now have the fractions 9/12 and 5/12.

3. Subtract 5/12 from 9/12. 9-5=4 and the denominator stays the same so we have 4/12.

What is the answer?
