Question

Simplify :

$\frac{8}{17}+\frac{3}{17}+\frac{1}{17}-\frac{11}{17}$

Answer 1

Since the fractions are like fractions.

So we will simplify the numerator keeping denominator constant as $17$

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{17}+\frac{3}{17}+\frac{1}{17}-\frac{11}{17}=\frac{8+3+1-11}{17} \\ =\frac{12-11}{17} \\ =\frac{1}{17} \end{gathered}$$

Therefore the required answer after simplification is $\frac{1}{17}$
