The answer is 1 5/24.
It is: 5 and 3/4 plus 1/6 plus 5 and 3/8 = 11 and 7/24
5 1/2
3 fourths
5/6
3 5/6 x 1 7/8 is 7 3/16
5/6 x 3/8 = 5/16 or five sixteenths. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to 0.3125.
the answer is 5 and one third
One half is three sixths and one-third is two sixths. 3+2=5
it is 9 and 2/5 .
To subtract fractions, find a common denominator. The common denominator of 6 and 8 is 24. Therefore, five sixths is equivalent to twenty-fours sixths, and five eighths is equivalent to twenty-four eighths. Subtracting twenty-four eighths from twenty-four sixths gives an answer of three twenty-fourths.
7/8= .875 and 5/6=.8333...(3 repeating). This means that seven eighths is greater than five sixths.
