5 1/3 + (-4 1/6)+ (-2 1/2)

Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

[tex]5\frac{1}{3}+(-4\frac{1}{6})+(-2\frac{1}{2})[/tex]

We have to find the value of given expression

[tex]\frac{5(3)+1}{3}-(\frac{4(6)+1}{6})-(\frac{2(2)+1}{2})[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{15+1}{3}-\frac{24+1}{6}-\frac{4+1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{16}{3}-\frac{25}{6}-\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

LCM(2,3,6)=6

[tex]=\frac{32-25-15}{6}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{32-40}{6}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{-8}{6}[/tex]

[tex]=-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
