Question

Using appropriate properties find:
3/8 -(-1/8) + 5/12 - 3/4​

Answer 1

Answer: 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying the BODMAS (Bracket of Division Multiplication Addition Substraction) rule:

We have to perform bracket functions first then, we have to perform first division, then multiplication, after that addition, and lastly substraction.

3/8 -(-1/8) + 5/12 - 3/4​

= 3/8 + 1/8  + 5/12 -3/4

= 4/8 + 5/12 -3/4

= 1/2 +5/12 -3/4

= 11/12 -3/4

= 2/12

= 1/6
