Answer:
[tex]3 \frac{7}{12}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1 - multiply the 1/2 out to make the denominators the same (Ignore the 4 for now)
To make 2 equal 12 you multiply by 6 and what you do to the bottom you do to the top.
[tex]\frac{1}{2}(\frac{6}{6}) = \frac{6}{12}[/tex]
2 - Now solve
Now we need to know what 4 1/12 - 6/12 equals.
1-6 is -5 so we will take out of the whole number to continue this subtraction
3 12/12 - 5/12
After subtracting that out we're left with
3 7/12
Hope this helps :)
