Question #1b213

Answer 1

C. The answer to that is `7/12`

Explanation:

In this scenario, I think you would have to try ABC and D.

When solving these questions, you have to divide first due to the order of operations, and then subtract. For C, this is:

`5/6-1/8-:1/2=5/6-1/8*2/1`
Multiply the fractions to get

`5/6-2/8`

The common denominator would be 24:

`5/6-2/8=(5/6*4/4)-(2/8*3/3)`

This gets us the common denominator, and then you can subtract
`20/24-6/24=14/24=7/12`
