Question

a) \(\dfrac{11}{12}-\left(\dfrac{5}{6}-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)=...............................................\)

b) \(\dfrac{11}{12}+\left(\dfrac{5}{6}-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)=...............................................\)

Answer 1

`11/12 - (5/6 - 1/4)`

`= 11/12 - 10/12 + 3/12`

`= (11 - 10 + 3)/12`

`= 4/12`

______________________

`11/12 + (5/6 - 1/4)`

`= 11/12 + 10/12 - 3/12`

`= (11 + 10 - 3)/12`

`= 19/12`

Answer 2

a)\(=\dfrac{11}{12}-\dfrac{5}{6}+\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{11}{12}-\dfrac{10}{12}+\dfrac{3}{12}=\dfrac{4}{12}=\dfrac{1}{3}\)

b)\(=\dfrac{11}{12}+\dfrac{5}{6}-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{11}{12}+\dfrac{10}{12}-\dfrac{3}{12}=\dfrac{18}{12}=\dfrac{3}{2}\)

Answer 3

a) 1/3

b) 2/3
