Question

What is the simplified value of `3/12 - 1/8 + 5/6` ?

Answer 1

`3/12-1/8+5/6=23/24`

Explanation:

To simplify `3/12-1/8+5/6`, we need to bring them to common .denominator. As the Least Common Denominator of `{12,8, 6}` is `24`. doing so we get

`3/12-1/8+5/6`

= `(3xx2)/(2xx12)-(1xx3)/(8xx3)+(5xx4)/(6xx4)`

= `6/24-3/24+20/24`

= `(6-3+20)/24`

= `23/24`
