Question

Simplify: Negative two and one-third minus negative ten and one-sixth(5 points) Negative twelve and one-half Twelve and one-half Seven and five-sixths Negative seven and five-sixths

Answer 1

GIVEN :

The statement is  Negative two and one-third minus negative ten and one-sixth

a) Negative twelve and one-half

b) Twelve and one-half

c) Seven and five-sixths

d) Negative seven and five-sixths

TO FIND :

The simplified term for the given expression.

SOLUTION :

Given that negative two and one-third minus negative ten and one-sixth

It can be written as the expression

$-2\frac{1}{3}-(-10\frac{1}{6})$

Now solving the expression :

$-2\frac{1}{3}-(-10\frac{1}{6})$

$=-2\frac{1}{3}+10\frac{1}{6}$

$=-\frac{7}{3}+10\frac{1}{6}$

$=-\frac{7}{3}+\frac{61}{6}$

$=\frac{-14+61}{6}$

$=\frac{47}{6}$

$=7\frac{5}{6}$

$-2\frac{1}{3}-(-10\frac{1}{6})=7\frac{5}{6}$

Option c) Seven and five-sixths is correct

ie., $7\frac{5}{6}$ is correct

∴ $-2\frac{1}{3}-(-10\frac{1}{6})=7\frac{5}{6}$
