Solve $\frac{7}{8}-\frac{1}{6}+\frac{5}{12}$.
Given:
Given expression is $\frac{7}{8}-\frac{1}{6}+\frac{5}{12}$.
To do:
We have to simplify the given expression.
Solution:
In this type of questions, take the lcm first. The lcm of 8, 6 and 12 is 24.
Therefore,
$\frac{7}{8}-\frac{1}{6}+\frac{5}{12}=\frac{7\times3-4\times1+5\times2}{24}$
$= \frac{21 - 4 + 10}{24}$
$= \frac{31 - 4}{24}$
$= \frac{27}{24}$
$= \frac{9}{8}$.
Therefore, $\frac{7}{8}-\frac{1}{6}+\frac{5}{12}= \frac{9}{8}$.
