Question

Simplify and fill in the blanks with appropriate answer:

$\frac{5}{18}+\frac{7}{18}-\frac{11}{18}=\_\_\_$

[$\frac{23}{18}$ / $\frac{1}{18}$]

Answer 1

• Step 1: As these are the like fractions, so perform addition and subtraction in the numerators and write the result over the common denominator.

$\frac{5}{18}+\frac{7}{18}-\frac{11}{18}=\frac{5+7-11}{18}=\frac{1}{18}$

• Hence, the simplest form is $\frac{1}{18}$.
