My answer~

1253/9997 or 0.12534

My explanation~

3/4 - 2/6 + 7/24

  • convert into decimals

3/4 = 0.75

2/6 = 0.333

7/24 = 0.29166

  • then use PEMDAS
  • add first

0.333 + 0.29166 =

0.62466

  • then subtract

0.75 - 0.62466 =

0.12534

  • then convert back or leave as is

1253/9997

  • what you would get when converting back to a fraction

hope i helped :P
