Question

simplify 3/4+5/8-7/12.​

Answer 1

Answer:

19/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5/8+3/4−7/12

LCM of 4, 8 and 12 =(2×2×2×3)=24

5/8=(5×3)/(8×3)=15/24 (by dividing 24/ 8=3)

3/4=(3×6)/(4×6)=9/12 (by dividing 24/ 4=6)

7/12=(7×2)/(12×2)=14/24 (by dividing 24/12 =2)

Now, 5/8+3/4−7/12=(15+18−14)/24

=(33−14)/24

=19/24

Hence, 5/8+3/4−7/12=19/24
