Question

simplify 4 5/6 - 2 3/8 + 3 7/12

Answer 1

Answer:

53/24

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will convert mixed fraction into proper fraction

4(5/6) = 29/6

2(3/8) = 19/8

3(7/12) = 43/12

= 29/6 - 19/8 + 43/12

_______________

6 8 12

lcm of 6 , 8 and 12 = 24

= 29 - 19 + 43

________

24

= 53/24

Answer 2

Answer:

=> 6.042

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given data, we have to find the value of the given equation.

Given that:-

$4(\frac{5}{6}) -2( \frac{3}{8})+3( \frac{7}{12})$

To find:- The value of the given equation,

Converting the given mixed fraction into improper fraction,

$=> 4(\frac{5}{6}) =\frac{29}{6}$

$=> 2( \frac{3}{8})=\frac{19}{8}$

$=> 3( \frac{7}{12})=\frac{43}{12}$

So, it is written as

$=>\frac{29}{6}-\frac{19}{8}+\frac{43}{12}$

By finding the lowest common denominator:

$=>\frac{29\times 4}{6\times 4}-\frac{-19\times 3}{8\times 3} +\frac{43\times 2}{12\times 2}$

$=>\frac{116}{24}-\frac{-57}{24}+\frac{86}{24}$

$=>\frac{116+(-57)+86}{24}$

$=>\frac{145}{24}$

=> $6.042$

Hence, by simplifying $4(\frac{5}{6}) -2( \frac{3}{8})+3( \frac{7}{12})$ the value we get is 6.042
