simplify
a]1/3+2/9-4/27
b] 2-1/2+1/3
c]2/3+1/27+5/9​

Answer 1

Answer:

• ♦ 11/27
• ♦ 1 ⅚
• ♦ 1 ⁷⁄₂₇

Step-by-step explanation:

a] 1/3 + 2/9 - 4/27

First take L.C.M of 3 and 9 and solve the given fractions ( here we will add ).

• = (3 + 2)/9 - 4/27
• = 5/9 - 4/27

Now, take L.C.M of 9 and 27 and solve the given fractions ( here we will subtract ).

• = (15 - 4)/27
• = 11/27

b] 2 - 1/2 + 1/3

First take L.C.M of 2 and 3 and solve the given fractions ( here we will add ).

• = 2 - (3 - 2)/6

Now, substract 3 from 2, we have:

• = 2 - 1/6

Now, take L.C.M of 1 and 6 and solve the given fractions ( here we will subtract ).

• = (12 - 1)/6
• = 11/6
• = 1 ⅚

c] 2/3 + 1/27 + 5/9

First take L.C.M of 3 and 27 and solve the given fractions ( here we will add ).

• = (18 + 1)/27 + 5/9

Add,

• = 19/27 + 5/9

Now take L.C.M of 27 and 9 and solve the given fractions ( here also we will add ).

• = (19 + 15)/27
• = 34/27
• = 1 ⁷⁄₂₇
