1 1/2+3/4-3/6+1 5/10=? I think is 4.25 what is reminder when 7 is shared into 59 i think is 8 r 4

Both are wrong.

Could you explain me please.Damian Donarski

try to make all your denominators the same then add or subtract as needed.

I v done I and I thought is 45/10 but Ms.Sue said that its not correcet.

correct sorry

I used the decimal equivalents.

1 1/2+3/4-3/6+1 5/10=
1.5 + 0.75 - 0.5 + 1.5 = 3.25

59/8 = 56 with a remainder of 3

Yes you are right..Thank you very much....I understand this now.

You're welcome. :-)

To solve the first expression, 1 1/2 + 3/4 - 3/6 + 1 5/10, we need to convert all the mixed numbers to improper fractions with a common denominator.

First, let's work with the whole numbers:
1 1/2 = (1 * 2 + 1)/2 = 3/2
1 5/10 = (1 * 10 + 5)/10 = 15/10

Converting all the fractions to have the same denominator:
3/2 + 3/4 - 3/6 + 15/10

To find the least common denominator (LCD) of 2, 4, 6, and 10, we can calculate the lowest common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which is 60.

Now, let's adjust the numerators according to the common denominator:
(3 * 30)/60 + (3 * 15)/60 - (3 * 10)/60 + 15/10

Simplifying the numerators:
90/60 + 45/60 - 30/60 + 15/10

Now, adding the fractions together:
(90 + 45 - 30)/60 + 15/10

Combining the fractions:
105/60 + 15/10

Next, we need to simplify the fractions:
105/60 = (3 * 35)/(3 * 20) = 35/20
15/10 = (5 * 3)/(5 * 2) = 3/2

Now, let's add the simplified fractions:
35/20 + 3/2

To add these fractions, we need to have the same denominator, which is 20.
35/20 stays the same, and 3/2 is equivalent to (3 * 10)/(2 * 10) = 30/20.

Now, we can add the fractions:
35/20 + 30/20 = (35 + 30)/20 = 65/20

Finally, 65/20 is an improper fraction. To convert it to a mixed number, divide the numerator (65) by the denominator (20):
65 ÷ 20 = 3 remainder 5.

Therefore, the expression 1 1/2 + 3/4 - 3/6 + 1 5/10 equals 3 5/20, which simplifies to 3 1/4.

Moving on to the second question, when 7 is divided into 59, the result is 8 with a remainder of 3, not 4.
