Question

Evaluate (1/3)(m) - 1 - (1/2)(n) when m=21 and n=12.

A) 4
B) 3
C) 6
D) 5

Answer 1

After substituting m=21 and n=12 into the expression (1/3)(m) - 1 - (1/2)(n), the result is 0, which does not match any of the provided multiple-choice options.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate the expression (1/3)(m) - 1 - (1/2)(n) when m=21 and n=12, we substitute the given values of m and n into the expression. This gives us:

• (1/3)(21) - 1 - (1/2)(12)
• (7) - 1 - (6)
• 7 - 1 - 6
• 0

Therefore, the value of the expression is 0, which is not listed in the options A) 4, B) 3, C) 6, D) 5. It seems there might be an error in the provided options.
