A mixed apple vendor starts out with \(28 \frac{2}{5}\) apples, sells \(5 \frac{1}{2}\) apples to Bob, and then sells \(7 \frac{1}{3}\) apples to Jane. After these two sales, how many apples does the vendor have left (expressed as a mixed number)?
2/5 = 12/30
1/2 = 15/30
1/3 = 10/30.....so
28 2/5 - 5 1/2 =
28 12/30 - 5 15/30 =
27 42/30 - 5 15/30 =
22 27/30
And
22 27/30 - 7 10/30 =
15 17/30 apples left
