Question

Solve. State the letter of the correct answer. 12 5 7 A.) 8 B.) 1 8 C.) o D.) 24 Response

Answer 1

Simplify the expression.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{23}{24}-(\frac{1}{6}+\frac{7}{12})=\frac{23}{24}-(\frac{1\cdot2+7\cdot1}{12}) \\ =\frac{23}{24}-(\frac{2+7}{12}) \\ =\frac{23}{24}-\frac{9}{12} \\ =\frac{23\cdot1-9\cdot2}{24} \\ =\frac{23-18}{24} \\ =\frac{5}{24} \end{gathered}$

So answer of the expression is 5/24.
