Answer 2

The solution for $\bold{1.9-\frac{11}{12}}$  is 0.9833.

Solution:

To calculate $1.9-\frac{11}{12}$, carry out the following steps ,

By converting the decimal 1.9 to fraction $\frac{19}{10}$, the given can be written as, $\frac{19}{10}-\frac{11}{12}$

By taking LCM for denominators 10 and 12 we get 60.

By multiply 19 with 6 and 11 with 5 we get both the denominator as 60.

$\left(\frac{19 \times 6}{10}\right)-\left(\frac{11 \times 5}{12}\right)=\left(\frac{114}{60}\right)-\left(\frac{55}{60}\right)$

Since the denominators are same, we can subtract 55 from 114 we get $\frac{59}{60}$.

By dividing 59 by 60, we get $\frac{59}{60} =0.9833$
