3/8 + 1/4 + 1/2 - 2/3=
To solve the given equation, we need to find a common denominator for all the fractions involved.
The least common denominator (LCD) for 8, 4, and 3 is 24.
Now, we can convert each fraction to have a denominator of 24:
3/8 = (3/8) * (3/3) = 9/24
1/4 = (1/4) * (6/6) = 6/24
1/2 = (1/2) * (12/12) = 12/24
2/3 = (2/3) * (8/8) = 16/24
Now, we can rewrite the given equation:
9/24 + 6/24 + 12/24 - 16/24
Now, let's add the fractions:
9/24 + 6/24 + 12/24 - 16/24 = (9 + 6 + 12 - 16)/24
Simplifying the numerator:
9 + 6 + 12 - 16 = 11
Now, the equation becomes:
11/24
Therefore, the solution is 11/24.
