Answer: 127 11/12
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 1/2 + 3/4 = 2/3
Change 1/2 by by multiplying by 2 to get a common denominator of fourths.
2/4 + 3/4 = 2/3?
5/4 = 2/3?
no
2. 5/8 - 1/4
Change 1/4 by by multiplying by 2 to get a common denominator of eighths.
5/8 - 2/8 = 3/8?
3/8 = 3/8 ?
yes
3/8 x 10 = 30/8
3. 4/5 +7/10 = 1 1/2
Change 4/5 by multiplying by 2 to get a common denominator tenths.
8/10 + 7/10 = 1 1/2?
15 /10 = 1 1/2?
yes
1 1/2 x 10 = 25
4. 2 1/3 - 1 5/6 = 1/6
Change 1/3 by multiplying by 2 to get a common denominator sixths.
2 2/6 - 1 5/6 = 1/6?
3/6 = 1/6
no
100 -2/3 - 1/6 + 30/8 + 25
multiply the thirds by 8. Sixths by 4. Eighths by 3 to get a common denomonator of 24ths.
100 - 16/24 - 4/24 + 90/ 24 + 25 = 125 70/24
create mixed number
127 22/24
reduce
127 11/12
