Question

Find the value of the expression.
$2\frac{3}{4}-\frac{5}{8}+\left(\frac{-5}{12}\right)+1\frac{1}{6}$

Answer 1

$2\frac{3}{4}-\frac{5}{8}+\left(\frac{-5}{12}\right)+1\frac{1}{6}$
$=\frac{11}{4}-\frac{5}{8}-\frac{5}{12}+\frac{7}{6}$
LCM of 4, 8, 12, 6 = 24
$\frac{66-15-10+28}{24}=\frac{94-25}{24}=\frac{\text{/}{69}^{23}}{\text{/}{24}_8}=\frac{23}{8}=2\frac{7}{8}$
