It class uses 8 and 5/6 sheets of white paper and 3 and 1/2 sheets of red paper for a project how much more white paper is used in red paper trio worklosing words pictures or numbers explain how you know your answer is reasonable

Answer 1

Your question suddenly turned into gibberish as " ... red paper trio worklosing words pictures or numbers.."

but I am assuming we are just doing a simple subtraction.

(8 5/6) - (3 1/2)
= 53/6 - 7/2
= 53/6 - 21/6
= 32/6 = 16/3 or 5 1/3

I know my answer is reasonable since 8 5/6 is almost 9
and 9 - 3/5 = 5.5 , which is a bit larger than my actual answer
That's fine since we rounded 8 5/6 up
