Answer:

2 7/20

Step-by-step explanation:

So Lets put these into a fraction form

Petra: 5 3/5

Pauline: 3 4/16 -> Can be Simplified = 3 1/4

Take the number of pies Petra Ate and subtract it by the number of pies Pauline ate

Change the numbers to a common factor. (multiply 3/5 by 4 and 1/4 by 5 to have common denominators)

Make These Into a Mixed Fraction

Subtract 112-65

Simplify (divide 47 into 20 how many times to get into a mixed fraction)

Hope This Helps :)
