Question

1/2 + 3 5/9 - 1/18=??

Answer 1

1/2 + 32/9 - 1/18= 4
1) 32/9-1/18= 63/18
2) 1/2+63/18= 72/18=36/9=12/3= 4/1= 4

Answer 2

1) 1/2+3 5/9=3 19/18= 4 1/18
2) 4 1/18-1/18= 4

Answer 3

To solve this expression, let's break it down step by step:

1. First, let's add the mixed number 3 5/9 and the fraction 1/18 to get a common format. Convert 3 5/9 to an improper fraction:

   3 5/9 = (3 * 9 + 5) / 9 = 28/9

2. Now the expression becomes:

   1/2 + 28/9 - 1/18

3. To add these fractions, they need a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 2, 9, and 18 is 18. So, let's rewrite the fractions with a common denominator of 18:

   (1/2) * (9/9) + (28/9) * (2/2) - (1/18) * (18/18) = 9/18 + 56/18 - 1/18

4. Now, we can add the fractions:

   9/18 + 56/18 - 1/18 = (9 + 56 - 1) / 18 = 64/18

5. Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

   64/18 = (32/9) / (9/9) = 32/9

So, the result of the expression 1/2 + 3 5/9 - 1/18 is 32/9.
