Question

simplification
1 2/4-3 5/6

Answer 1

$1 \frac{2}{4}$ =$1 \frac{1}{2}$ =$\frac{3}{2}$

$3 \frac{5}{6}$=$\frac{23}{6}$

Now simplifying,

$\frac{3}{2} - \frac{23}{6}$

Taking out the L.C.M. of 2 & 6=6

=$\frac{9-23}{6}$

=$\frac{-14}{6}$ =$\frac{-7}{3}$=$2 \frac{1}{3}$ (ANSWER).

Answer 2

1 2/4-3 5/6
= 6/4 - 23/6
= 3/2 - 23/6
= (9-23) / 6
= -14/6
= -7/3
