Question

Evaluate.

Answer 1

The answer as a simplified fraction in the box is -1/6

Given the expression

[3-|-5/6 -2(-1/3)|] ÷ (-17)

Using PEDMAS

P is for parenthesis

[3-|-5/6+2/3)|] ÷ (-17)

[3-|2/3 - 5/6)|] ÷ (-17)

[3-|(4-5)/6)|] ÷ (-17)

[3-|-1/6)|] ÷ (-17)

Since the modulus of a negative number is equal to a positive number, the result will give:

[3 - 1/6] ÷ (-17)

[(18-1)/6] ÷ (-17)

17/6  ÷ (-17)

Next is to carry out the division operation

17/6  × (-1/17)

= -1/6

Hence the answer as a simplified fraction in the box is -1/6
