Question
Simplify:
$9\frac{5}{6}-4\frac{3}{8}+2\frac{7}{12}$
$9\frac{5}{6}-4\frac{3}{8}+2\frac{7}{12}$
✓
Answer
We have,
$9\frac{5}{6}-4\frac{3}{8}+2\frac{7}{12}$
$\frac{59}{6}-\frac{35}{8}+\frac{31}{12}$
$\frac{236-105+62}{24}$ [$\because$ LCM of 6, 8 and 12 = 24]
$=\frac{298-105}{24}=\frac{193}{24}$
$=8\frac{1}{24}$
$9\frac{5}{6}-4\frac{3}{8}+2\frac{7}{12}$
$\frac{59}{6}-\frac{35}{8}+\frac{31}{12}$
$\frac{236-105+62}{24}$ [$\because$ LCM of 6, 8 and 12 = 24]
$=\frac{298-105}{24}=\frac{193}{24}$
$=8\frac{1}{24}$
