Question

8 1\5 + 5 1\6 - 3 1\5

Answer 1

8 1\5 + 5 1\6 - 3 1\5=
8 1/5-3 1/5+5 1/6=5+5 1/6=10 1/6

Answer 2

To solve the expression 8 1/5 + 5 1/6 - 3 1/5, we need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions and then perform the operations.

Let's start by converting the mixed numbers into improper fractions:

8 1/5 = (8 * 5 + 1) / 5 = 41/5 5 1/6 = (5 * 6 + 1) / 6 = 31/6 3 1/5 = (3 * 5 + 1) / 5 = 16/5

Now we can substitute these values back into the expression:

41/5 + 31/6 - 16/5

To add or subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 6 is 30.

Multiplying the numerators and denominators by the necessary factors to obtain the common denominator:

(41/5) * (6/6) + (31/6) * (5/5) - (16/5) * (6/6) = 246/30 + 155/30 - 96/30

Now that we have a common denominator, we can add or subtract the numerators:

= (246 + 155 - 96) / 30 = 305/30

Simplifying the fraction:

= 61/6

Therefore, 8 1/5 + 5 1/6 - 3 1/5 is equal to 61/6.
