One whole number plus two whole number one over four minus one over three
Let's simplify the expression step by step:
1. Combine the whole numbers:
1 + 2 = 3
2. Find a common denominator for the fractions:
The common denominator for 4 and 3 is 12.
3. Convert the fractions to have a common denominator:
1/4 = (1/4) * (3/3) = 3/12
1/3 = (1/3) * (4/4) = 4/12
So, the expression becomes:
3 + 3/12 - 4/12
4. Combine the fractions:
3/12 - 4/12 = -1/12
5. Combine the whole number and the fraction:
3 - 1/12 = 3 - 1/12
So, the final expression is 3 - 1/12.
