Answer:
50-25 2/3 - 9 3/4 - 8 1/2 = 6 1/12
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this without a calculator you need to get common denominator
a good choice would be 12 for the common denominator
50 x 12 = 600
25 x 12 = 300
convert to 2/3 to x/12, multiply top and bottom by 4
2/3 x 4 = 8/12
add this to the 300 to get 308/12
same with the other terms
9 x 12 = 108
convert 3/4 to x/12, multiply top and bottom by 3
3/4 x 3 = 9/12
add this to the 108 to get 117/12
and do the same for the 8 1/2
8x 12 = 96
convert 1/2 to x/12, multiply top and bottom by 6
1/2 = 6/12, add this to the 96
do the subtraction and simplify
