12-1/9÷4/3+(1/2)^2

Answer 1

73/6

Answer 2

= 12 - 1/12 + 1/4
= 73/6

Answer 3

lots of working (now where did I put that calculator!):
12 - (1/9)/(4/3) + (1/2)^2

= 12 - (1/9)*(3/4) + (1^2/2^2)

= 12 - (1*3)/(9*4) + (1/4)

= 12 - 3/36 + 1/4

(lowest common demoninator of 4 and 36)

= 12 - 3/36 + (9*1)/(4*9)

= 12 - 3/36 + 9/36

= 12 + 6/36

= 12 + 1/6

= 73/6

Answer 4

check the denominator common for
1 4 1 (12)(36) - 4 + 4(12) + 9 432 -4 +48 +9 485
12 - --- + --- + --- = ---------------------- = --------------- = -----
9 3 4 36 36 36

Answer 5

than after 1/9 you have wrote divide sign - if this is true like , hence - you will get
1 3 1 1 1 1 + 3 1 35
12 - --- * ---- + ---- = 12 - ---- + --- = 12 - ------ = 12 - ---- = ----
