Answer:

[tex]5\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

I have done this below to make all the fractions have the same denominator, which will make solving the question easier.

[tex]\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4}[/tex]

Now multiply the amount of days (7) by the daily amount of apples ([tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex])

[tex]\frac{7}{1}*\frac{2}{4}[/tex][tex]= \frac{14}{4}[/tex]

Now subtract the full amount ([tex]12\frac{3}{4}[/tex]) by the amount he has eaten after 7 days

([tex]\frac{14}{4}[/tex])

[tex]12\frac{3}{4} = \frac{36}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{36}{4} - \frac{14}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{22}{4}=\frac{11}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{11}{2} =5\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
