Question

-1 3/4+ 1 1/6 what is the answer I say -7/12

Answer 1

Answer:

No, the correct answer of $-1\frac{3}{4} + 1\frac{1}{6}$ = $\frac{11}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is $-1\frac{3}{4} + 1\frac{1}{6}$

As we know that a mixed fraction$a\frac{b}{c}$ can be converted into proper or improper fraction as $a\frac{b}{c} = \frac{ac + b}{c}$

⇒ $-1\frac{3}{4} = \frac{(-1) (4)+ 3}{c}$  = $\frac{-4 + 3}{4} = \frac{-1}{4}$

and, $1\frac{1}{6} = \frac{(1) (6)+ 1}{6}$  = $\frac{6 + 1}{6} = \frac{7}{6}$

Hence, the simplified expression = $\frac{-1}{4} + \frac{7}{6} = \frac{-1(3) + 7(2)}{12} = \frac{11}{12}$

or, $-1\frac{3}{4} + 1\frac{1}{6}$ = $\frac{11}{12}$
