Question

1/4+2/3-1/2= how do I solve this

Answer 1

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

First you add 1/4+2/3.

You need to change the denominator so that they are equal to each other

If you multiply the 1/4 by 3/3 you will get 3/12 which is equal to 1/4

Then you need to do the same to 2/3. This time you need to multiply it by 4/4 to get the same denominator which will be 2/3*4/4=8/12

Then you add 3/12+8/12=11/12. You don't need to add the denominator.

After this you will need to subtract 11/12 and 1/2. This time you need to only change the denominator for 1/2.

You multiply the denominator and numerator by 6/6 to 1/2 and you will get 6/12 then you are going to subtract 11/12-6/12 and you will get 5/12
