17 days are left. 68/4*3 gives you that

There are 17 days left of vacation because 3/4 of 68 is 51 (68 divided by 4 and times by 3).

68 (the total days of vacation) - 51 (the days that have gone by so far)=
17 (the days left of the vacation)

Hope that helped!!!

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{0}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{ [ (4 \frac{1}{6} + 2 \frac{1}{3} ) \div 4 \frac{1}{3}] - 1\frac{1}{2} }$

Convert the mixed numbers into improper fraction

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{ [ ( \frac{25}{6} + \frac{7}{3} ) \div \frac{13}{3}] - \frac{3}{2}}}$

Add the fractions : 25 / 6 and 7 / 3

While performing addition or subtraction of unlike fractions, you have to express the given fractions into equivalent fractions of common denominator and add or subtract as we do with like fraction.

To do so, first take the L.C.M of 6 and 3 which results to 6

$\longrightarrow\sf{ [( \frac{25 + 7 \times 2}{6} ) \div \frac{13}{3} ] - \frac{3}{2}}$

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{ [( \frac{25 + 14}{6} ) \div \frac{13}{3} ] - \frac{3}{2} }}$

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{ [ \frac{39}{6} \div \frac{13}{3}] - \frac{3}{2} }}$

Multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor.

Reciprocal of any number or fraction can be obtained by interchanging the position of numerator and denominator

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{ [ \frac{39}{6} \times \frac{3}{13} ] - \frac{3}{2}}}$

To multiply one fraction by another, multiply the numerators for the numerator and multiply the denominators for its denominator and reduce the fraction obtained after multiplication into lowest term

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{ [ \frac{39 \times 3}{6 \times 13} ] - \frac{3}{2}}}$

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{ [ \frac{117}{78} ] - \frac{3}{2} }}$

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{3}{2} - \frac{3}{2} }}$

While performing the addition or subtraction of like fractions , you just have to add or subtract the numerator respectively in which the denominator is retained same

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{3 - 3}{2} }}$
