Question

3/4 + (1/3 \ 1/6) - (- 1/2) =

Answer 1

The correct answer is 3 1/4

Explanation:

It is given that,

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

To find the value of given expression

3/4 + (1/3 \ 1/6) - (- 1/2) for finding the answer we have to find the value of

(1/3 / 1/6) = 1/3 * 6/1 = 2

3/4 + (1/3 \ 1/6) - (- 1/2 = 3/4 + 2 + 1/2

= 3/4 + 8/4 + 2/4 = (3 + 8 + 2)/4 = 13/4 = 3 1/4

The correct answer is 3 1/4

Answer 2

3 1/4

Explanation:

I'll assume you meant 3/4 + (1/3 / 1/6) - (- 1/2) and not 3/4 + (1/3 \ 1/6) - (- 1/2)

So we start with 3/4 + (1/3 / 1/6) - (- 1/2)

The toughest part is (1/3 / 1/6) , but remember that when dividing with a fraction, it's like multiplying by the inverse of that fraction, so...

`(1/3)/(1/6) = (1)/(3) * (6)/(1) = (6)/(3) = 2`

Then we return to the original problem with the new value for the parenthesis:

3/4 + 2 + 1/2 = 3/4 + 8/4 + 2/4 = 13/4 or 3 1/4
