Answer:
47. 1 5/8
48. 1 1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
47.
First, convert the denominators to be the same.
8 1/2 minutes, Ruby's mile time, can be converted to 8 4/8.
Then subtract.
8 4/8 - 6 7/8 = 1 5/8
48.
Make sure the denominators are the same. Both denominators can be multiplied by 3 or 4 to become 12.
1 1/4 can be multiplied by 3 to get 1 3/12. And 1 1/3 can be multiplied by 4 to get 2 4/12.
Then subtract.
2 4/12 - 1 1/3 = 1 1/12
