Q:
-5 2/3- (-6 1/5)+ 1 7/12Show how please
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:2β·/ββ Β Step-by-step explanation:-5β - (-6β ) + 1β·/ββ 1. Remove parentheses -5β - (-6β ) + 1β·/ββ = -5β + 6β + 1β·/ββ 2. Convert the fractions to their lowest common denominators. The lowest common denominator of 3, 5, Β and 12 is 60. Thus -5β + 6β + 1β·/ββ = -5β΄β°/ββ + 6ΒΉΒ²/ββ+ 1Β³β΅/ββ 3. Add integers and fractions separately [tex]\begin{array}{lr}-5 & -\dfrac{40}{60} \\\\+6 & \dfrac{12}{60} \\\\+1 & \dfrac{35}{60} \\\\\mathbf{2} & \mathbf{\dfrac{7}{60}} \\\end{array}[/tex] 4. Add the integer and the fraction 2 + β·/ββ = 2β·/ββ
