Answer:
1.5 as decimal, 1 1/2 as a fraction
Step-by-step explanation:
1. convert 2 5/6 & (-1 4/12) to a improper fraction.
17/6 and -16/12
2. multiply 17/6 by 2 to match -16/12's denominator
17/6 * 2 = 34/12
We now have
34/12 + -16/12
A positive number plus a negative number is the same thing as subtraction so we remove the negative sign and replace the plus with a minus sign.
We have:
![\frac{34}{12}-\frac{16}{12}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B34%7D%7B12%7D-%5Cfrac%7B16%7D%7B12%7D)
Now solve. 34-16 = 18
our answer is 18/12
