Question

Simplify 3/4-1/3+1/12​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify, you have to make all of the denominators (bottom numbers) the same because you have to add and subtract. All of the fractions have common denominators of 12. 1/12 does not need to be changed, but 3/4 and 1/3 do need to be. To get to the common denominator, multiply by whichever number gets you to the number (in this case the number is 12).

3/4 x 3 = 9/12

1/3 x 4 = 4/12

Now we can simplify a lot easier. Substitute the equivalent fractions with the original ones.

9/12-4/12+1/12

In the order of operations, you subtract first if the operation comes before addition. Because that is the case here, we have to subtract 9/12-4/12.

9/12-4/12=5/12

Finally, add 1/12.

5/12+1/12=6/12.

The final answer is 6/12, but you can simplify it further to 1/2.
