Q:
-1 3/4+ 1 1/6 what is the answer I say -7/12
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:No, the correct answer of [tex]-1\frac{3}{4} + 1\frac{1}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{11}{12}[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:The given expression is [tex]-1\frac{3}{4} + 1\frac{1}{6}[/tex]As we know that a mixed fraction[tex]a\frac{b}{c}[/tex] can be converted into proper or improper fraction as [tex]a\frac{b}{c} = \frac{ac + b}{c}[/tex]⇒ [tex]-1\frac{3}{4} = \frac{(-1) (4)+ 3}{c}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-4 + 3}{4} = \frac{-1}{4}[/tex]and, [tex]1\frac{1}{6} = \frac{(1) (6)+ 1}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6 + 1}{6} = \frac{7}{6}[/tex] Hence, the simplified expression = [tex]\frac{-1}{4} + \frac{7}{6} = \frac{-1(3) + 7(2)}{12} = \frac{11}{12}[/tex]or, [tex]-1\frac{3}{4} + 1\frac{1}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{11}{12}[/tex]
