Answer 2

The simplest form of 7/8 + (-2/3) over 5/6 is $\frac{1}{4}$

Solution:

Given, expression is 7/8 + (- 2/3) over 5/6

We have to find the value of the above given expression in simplest form.

Now, take the given expression.

⇒ 7/8 + (- 2/3) over 5/6

The above expression can be expanded as follows:

$=\frac{\frac{7}{8}+\frac{-2}{3}}{\frac{5}{6}}$

$=\left(\frac{7}{8}+\frac{-2}{3}\right) \times \frac{6}{5}$

$\begin{array}{l}{=\frac{21-16}{24} \times \frac{6}{5}} \\\\ {=\frac{5}{24} \times \frac{6}{5}=\frac{6}{24}=\frac{1}{4}}\end{array}$

Hence the value of given expression in simplest form is $\frac{1}{4}$
