Question

SOLVE:

SUBTRACT THE SUM OF 9 3/ 4 AND 3 5/ 6 FROM 15 7/ 12​

Answer 1

Answer:

$15 \frac{7}{12} - ( 9 \frac{3}{4} + 3 \frac{5}{6} )$

$\frac{187}{12} - ( \frac{39}{4} + \frac{23}{6} )$

$lcm \: of \: 4 \: and \: 6 \: is \: 24$

multiply both to make denominator 24

$\frac{187}{12} - ( \frac{234}{24} + \frac{92}{24} )$

$\frac{187}{12} - \frac{326}{24}$

lcm of 12 and 24 is 24

$\frac{187}{12} \times 2 - \frac{326}{24}$

$\frac{374}{24} - \frac{326}{24}$

$= \frac{48}{24}$

$= 2$
