Question

(7 5/12-3 1/6)•2 2/17

Answer 1

$1)7 \frac{5}{12} - 3 \frac{1}{6} = 4 \frac{5 - 2}{12} = 4 \frac{3}{12} = 4 \frac{1}{4} \\ 2)4 \frac{1}{4} \times 2 \frac{2}{17} = \frac{17}{4} \times \frac{36}{17} = 9$

Answer 2

To simplify the expression (7 5/12 - 3 1/6) * 2 2/17, let's first convert all the mixed numbers to improper fractions:

7 5/12 = (12 * 7 + 5) / 12 = 89 / 12 3 1/6 = (6 * 3 + 1) / 6 = 19 / 6 2 2/17 = (17 * 2 + 2) / 17 = 36 / 17

Now we can substitute these values into the expression:

(89/12 - 19/6) * 36/17

To subtract the fractions, we need a common denominator, which in this case is 12:

(89/12 - (19/6 * 2/2)) * 36/17 (89/12 - 38/12) * 36/17 (51/12) * 36/17

Now we can multiply the fractions:

(51/12) * (36/17) = (51 * 36) / (12 * 17) 1836 / 204 = 9

Therefore, (7 5/12 - 3 1/6) * 2 2/17 equals 9.
