Question

simplify the following
3/4+4/13÷3/52-6

Answer 1

Given:

(i) The equation given is 3/4 + 4/13 ÷ 3/52 - 6

To find:

(i) The simplified value

Solution:

The equation is 3/4 + 4/13 ÷ 3/52 - 6 .

According to BODMAS, we evaluate division part first.

4/13 ÷ 3/52

=208/39

So, 3/4 + 208/39 - 6 .

Now, we do addition.

3/4 + 208/39 = 73/12

So, 73/12 - 6 = 1/12

So, 1/12 is the required answer.

Answer 2

Given: 3/4+4/13÷3/52-6

To find: Simplify the above question.

Solution:

• As we have given the question, we first need to put the brackets around to simplify step by step.

             (3/4 + 4/13) / (3/52 -6)

• So now first lets solve the numerator we get:

             3/4 + 4/13

• By cross multiplication:

             (39 + 16)/ 52

             55/52

• Now solving the denominator:

             3/52 -6

• By cross multiplication:

             (3 - 312) / 52

             -309/ 52

• Now clubing both numerator and denominator we get:

             (55/52) / (-309/ 52)

• cancelling 52 from both denominator:

             -55/309

Answer:

                So, 3/4+4/13÷3/52-6 =  -55/309
