Beyond the Answer
To find out how much oil Naledi has left after giving \( 1 \frac{5}{12} \) bottles to her friend, we need to subtract \( 1 \frac{5}{12} \) from \( 4 \frac{7}{12} \). First, convert both mixed numbers into improper fractions: - \( 4 \frac{7}{12} = \frac{4 \times 12 + 7}{12} = \frac{48 + 7}{12} = \frac{55}{12} \) - \( 1 \frac{5}{12} = \frac{1 \times 12 + 5}{12} = \frac{12 + 5}{12} = \frac{17}{12} \) Now, perform the subtraction: \[ \frac{55}{12} - \frac{17}{12} = \frac{55 - 17}{12} = \frac{38}{12} \] Simplifying \( \frac{38}{12} \) gives \( \frac{19}{6} \), which can be converted back to a mixed number: \[ \frac{19}{6} = 3 \frac{1}{6} \] So, Naledi has \( 3 \frac{1}{6} \) bottles of cooking oil left.
