How do you think one would find the "difference" in how much the two tanks hold? What mathematical operation would one apply?

What did you get when you applied that operation to the two given numbers?

Please be complete. Thank you!

Is that a joke? I'm heavily intoxicated at the moment so it's not obvious if it is or not.

Easy: 16 3/4 - 11 3/5
