Question

5 by 12 + 4 by 6 minus 1 by 8 ​

Answer 1

• As per the data given in the question, we have to find the value of the expression.

         Given data:- $\frac{5}{12} +\frac{4}{6} -\frac{1}{8}.$

         To find:- Value of given expression.

         Solution:-

• To solve the above equation we will follow the BODMAS rule.

• It is the rule used to remember the order of operations to be followed while solving expressions in mathematics.

        where,

        B= bracket

        O= order of power or rules

        D= division

        M= multiplication

        A= addition

        S= subtraction

        Therefore,

        $\frac{5}{12} +\frac{4}{6} -\frac{1}{8}\\=\frac{13}{12}-\frac{1}{8}\\=\frac{23}{24}\\=0.958.$

       Hence we will get the value $\frac{23}{24}$ or $0.958.$

Answer 2

Answer:

$=> \frac{23}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$\frac{5}{12}+\frac{4}{6}-\frac{1}{8}$

To find:- The value of the expression,

In order to solve that, we have to use the concept of BODMAS:

where,  

       B= bracket  

       O= order of power or rules  

       D= division  

       M= multiplication  

       A= addition  

       S= subtraction

As we have,

=> $\frac{5}{12}+\frac{4}{6}-\frac{1}{8}$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{4}{6}$ to its lowest term:

$=> \frac{5}{12}+\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{8}$

The LCM of $12 and 3 is 12$.

Therefore,

$=> \frac{5}{12}+\frac{2\times 4}{3\times 4}-\frac{1}{8}$

$=> \frac{5}{12}+\frac{8}{12}-\frac{1}{8}$

Combine the fractions, we get

$=> \frac{13}{12}-\frac{1}{8}$

The LCM of $12 and 8 is 24$.

$=> \frac{26}{24} -\frac{3}{24}$

Now, subtract the fraction:

$=> \frac{23}{24}$
