$3 \frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{6}-1 \frac{1}{12}$
✓
Answer
$3 \frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{6}-1 \frac{1}{12}=\frac{23}{6}-\frac{1}{6}-\frac{13}{12} $
$=\frac{23 \times 2}{6 \times 2}-\frac{1 \times 2}{6 \times 2}-\frac{13}{12} $
$=\frac{46}{12}-\frac{2}{12}-\frac{13}{12}=\frac{46-2-13}{12} $
$=\frac{46-15}{12}=\frac{31}{12}=2 \frac{7}{12}$
$=\frac{23 \times 2}{6 \times 2}-\frac{1 \times 2}{6 \times 2}-\frac{13}{12} $
$=\frac{46}{12}-\frac{2}{12}-\frac{13}{12}=\frac{46-2-13}{12} $
$=\frac{46-15}{12}=\frac{31}{12}=2 \frac{7}{12}$
