Verified Answer :

  • - If a baker has 20 pounds, and looses 3/4 pounds, then we have to take away. Meaning to subtract.


    ♥ Start with turning 20 into a fraction.

    \(\frac{20}{1} - \frac{3}{4}\)

    ♥ Change this to addition.

    \(\frac{20}{1} + \frac{-3}{4}\)

    ♥ Solve for that.

    \(\frac{80}{4} + \frac{-3}{4}\)

    ♥ Combine.

    \(\frac{80+-3}{4} = \frac{77}{4} =19.25\)

    She has about 19 (rounded) pounds left.

    Decimal exact: 19.25
