Mr. carlucci brought 8 3/4 pounds pepperoni for large sandwiches. He cut the pepperoni into 1/12 pound slices. A skateboarder bumped into his table and 2 7/12 pound of the pepperoni fell on the ground and was eaten by 3 dogs. Does mr. carlucci have enough pepperoni left to make 74 sandwiches if he puts one slice on each sandwich? By how much is he over or under the amount of pepperoni he needs?

    Divide 8 3/4 by 1/12.

    First make 8 3/4 into a improper fraction ⇒ 35/4.

    35/4 : 1/12 ⇒ 35/4 * 12/1 = 105

    Mr. Carlucci has 105 pieces of pepperoni.

    Now subtract 2 7/12 from 105.

    105 - 2 7/12 ⇒ 105 - 31/12 ⇒ 1260/12 = 31/12

    1260/12 = 31/12 = 1229/12

    1229/12 = ~102

    Mr. Carlucci has enough pepperoni to make 74 sandwiches. He is over the amount of pepperoni he needs by 28 slices.
