The given details are illustrations of addition and subtractions of fractions. The scuba driver is at an elevation of $-5\frac{1}{15}$ ft below the sea level.

Given that:

$n_1 = 1\frac 23$ --- the first dive

$n_2 = 3\frac 25$ ---- the additional dive

From the question, we understand that the diver starts at the sea level.

This is represented with 0ft.

So, the diver's elevation (d) is calculated as follows:

$d = 0 - n_1 - n_2$ --- we use subtraction because the diver is below the sea level

So, we have:

$d = 0 - 1\frac 23 - 3\frac 25$

$d = - 1\frac 23 - 3\frac 25$

Convert fractions

$d = - \frac 53 - \frac{17}5$

Take LCM

$d = \frac{-5 \times 5 - 17 \times 3}{15}$

$d = \frac{-76}{15}$

Reduce fraction

$d = -5\frac{1}{15}$

The above value means that the diver's elevation is at $-5\frac{1}{15}$ ft below the sea level.

How would i calculate 1.9 minus 11/12?

Genrish500 [490]

Step 1) turn 1.9 into an improper fraction.

= 19/10

step 2) find a least common denominator between 10 and 12.

= 60
(10x6 and 12x5)

step 3) convert the fractions so they have the same denominator.

= 19x6 is 114.
10x6= 60.
= 11x5 is 55.
12x5 is 60.
now you have your new fractions.

step 4) subtract.

= 114/60 - 55/60 is 59/60.

step 5) simplify.

the answer is either 0.9833... (3 repeating) or just 59/60 (you can't simplify the fraction any further).
