5/10+12/16+(15/20-4/16)
Well you need to solve in the parentheses first, by making them common denominators.
(15/20 - 4/16)=(60/80 - 20/80)
Then subtract.
(40/80)
then simplify.
(1/2)
Next make all the fractions with common denominators.
5/10 + 12/16 + (1/2)=
40/80 + 60/80 + (40/80)
or 4/8 + 6/8 +(4/8)=?
Then you finish adding
Hope this helps

To solve this expression, you need to follow the order of operations, which is parentheses, then addition and subtraction from left to right, and finally, multiplication and division from left to right.
First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
(15/20 - 4/16)
To make the fractions have a common denominator, we need to find the least common multiple of 20 and 16, which is 80.
Now, let's convert the fractions to have a denominator of 80:
(15/20 - 4/16) = (75/100 - 20/80)
Next, let's subtract the fractions:
(75/100 - 20/80) = 75/100 - 20/80 = (75/100) - (20/80) = 75/100 - 20/80
Now, let's proceed with simplifying the expression outside the parentheses.
5/10 + 12/16 + (75/100 - 20/80)
To add or subtract fractions, they need to have the same denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 10, 16, and 80 is 80.
Let's convert the fractions to have a denominator of 80:
5/10 + 12/16 + (75/100 - 20/80) = (40/80) + (60/80) + (75/100 - 20/80)
Now, let's add the fractions:
(40/80) + (60/80) + (75/100 - 20/80) = 40/80 + 60/80 + (75/100 - 20/80) = (40+60)/80 + (75/100 - 20/80) = 100/80 + (75/100 - 20/80)
Next, simplify the expression:
100/80 + (75/100 - 20/80) = 5/4 + (75/100 - 20/80) = 5/4 + (75/100) - (20/80)
Continue simplifying:
5/4 + (75/100) - (20/80) = 5/4 + 75/100 - 20/80 = 5/4 + 75/100 - 20/80 = (5/4) + (75/100) - (20/80)
Now, let's calculate the expression:
(5/4) + (75/100) - (20/80) = 1 1/4 + 3/4 - 1/4 = 4/4 + 3/4 - 1/4 = 7/4 - 1/4 = 6/4 = 1 2/4 = 1 1/2
Therefore, the final answer is 1 1/2.
