In a shipment of new books for a library 5/12 of the books were poetry and 2/5 were biographies. the remainder of the books in the shipment was mysteries what fact fraction of the books in the shipment were mysteries?

Make a common denominator.

5/12 and 2/5 both have a common denominator of 60.

So:
5/12 = 25/60
2/5 = 24/60

25/60 + 24/60 = 49/60

There are 49/60 books in the shipment that contain POETRY and BIOGRAPHIES.

But we’re not done yet!

60/60 - 49/60 = 11/60

11/60 of the books contain mysteries.

Please give brainliest if you can!

Hope this helps!! :)
