To subtract 5 3/10 from 12, you need to convert the mixed number 5 3/10 into a fraction.
First, multiply the whole number (5) by the denominator (10) and add the numerator (3). This gives you 53 as the numerator.
The denominator remains the same (10).
So, 5 3/10 can be converted to the fraction 53/10.
Now, you can subtract 53/10 from 12.
To subtract fractions, you need a common denominator.
In this case, the common denominator is 10.
Convert 12 into a fraction with the same denominator:
12 = 12/1 (multiplying by 1 does not change the value)
Now, subtract the fractions:
12/1 - 53/10
Next, find a common denominator (which is 10 in this case) and convert both fractions:
12/1 = 120/10 (multiplying the numerator and denominator by 10)
So, you have:
120/10 - 53/10
Now, subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator the same:
(120 - 53)/10 = 67/10
Therefore, 12 - 5 3/10 is equal to 67/10.
