Answer 2

Answer:

=> $\frac{17}{36}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:-

$\frac{5}{9}-\frac{7}{12}+\frac{1}{2}$

We have to simplify the above expression,

For solving this expression we have to use the concept of BODMAS,

First of all, we have to determine the lowest common denominator:

$=>\frac{5\times 4}{9\times 4}+\frac{-7\times 3}{12\times 3}+\frac{1\times 18}{2\times 18}$

Further simplifying it we get:

$=>\frac{20}{36}+\frac{-21}{36}+\frac{18}{36}$

Now, by combining the fractions:

$=>\frac{20+(-21)+18}{36}$

Adding the terms in the numerator,

$=>\frac{17}{36}$

Hence, the required solution is $\frac{17}{36}$.
