Question 1092948
{{{ ( -1/2 + 3/4 ) + 5/6 }}}
The parenthses do not serve any purpose here,
so you can remove them
{{{ -1/2 + 3/4 + 5/6 }}}
Convert each fraction using the least common denominator
which is {{{ 12 }}}
I'll do the conversion for each fraction:
{{{ (-1/2)*(6/6) = -6/12 }}}
and
{{{ (3/4)*(3/3) = 9/12 }}}
and
{{{ (5/6)*(2/2) = 10/12 }}}
-----------------------------
So, now you have:
{{{ -6/12 + 9/12 + 10/12 }}}
You can add up the fractions two at a time
{{{ 3/12 + 10/12 }}}
{{{ 13/12 }}} answer
You could also express this as a mixed number: 1 1/12
