Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright, lets get started.
[tex]8\frac{1}{2}-3\frac{1}{?}=5\frac{3}{12}[/tex]
These are mixed number given.
Suppose the complete mixed number of second place is x.
Converting mixed numbers into fractions.
[tex]\frac{17}{2}-x=\frac{63}{12}[/tex]
Adding x in both sides
[tex]\frac{17}{2}=x+\frac{63}{12}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{17}{2}-\frac{63}{12}[/tex]
Making common denominator
[tex]x=\frac{102}{12}-\frac{63}{12}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{39}{12}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{13}{4}[/tex]
In mixed number form:
[tex]x=3\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
So comparing with given equation, the '?' sign will be equal to 4.
Hence the answer is 4 : Answer
Hope it will help :)
