Justine has a bamboo pole 12 1/2 m long. 3 4/5 m was cut from it. How many meters were left of the pole?

[tex] 12 \frac{1}{2} - 3 \frac{4}{5} [/tex]

Make both fraction improper.

25 / 2 - 19 / 5

Change both into proper fraction. Get the LCD of the two.

(125 - 38) / 10 = 87 / 10
[tex] = 8 \frac{7}{10} [/tex]

[tex] 8 \frac{7}{10} [/tex] meters were left of the pole.

Change to decimal:
12 1/2=12.5
3 4/5=3.8

Subtract it:
12.5-3.8=8.7m
Or in fraction:
8 7/10
