Cynthia says that when you evaluate the expression (21 3/4 + 4 1/2) - 5 3/12 you get a whole number. What whole number do you get?

21

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions.

(87/4 + 9/2) - 21/4

Next, calculate within the parentheses:

87/4 + 9/2

Next, change the denominator of 9/2 to 4. To do that, multiply the denominator of 9/2 to get 4 to match the denominator of the first fraction. 9/2 * 2/2 = 18/4.

87/4 + 18/4 = 105/4

Then, 105/4 - 21/4 = 84/4

Finally, divide 84 by 4 and you get 21.
