Answer:

The answer is 7/12.

Explanation:


( (2)/(3) - (1)/(4) ) + ( (1)/(2) * (1)/(3) )

Solve the terms in the bracket first

That's find the LCM of the ones which are subtracting

LCM of 3 and 4 is 12

That's


(2)/(3) - (1)/(4) = (8 - 3)/(12) = (5)/(12)

Next multiply the other terms in the other bracket

That's


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

Add both results

That's


(5)/(12) + (1)/(6)

Find the LCM

The LCM is 12

We get the final answer as


(5)/(12) + (1)/(6) = (5 + 2)/(12) = (7)/(12)

Hope this helps you
