11/12-1

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hint" \[\huge \frac{11}{12} - 1 \implies \frac{11}{12} - \frac{12}{12}\] does that help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

wonderful

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

-1/12

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

what's in the docx?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the original question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that consist graph

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hmm can't download docx sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its from Microsoft 2010

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I changed the program to paint.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

i meant i can't download...literally...it sometimes viruses my computer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright ill write out the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/3, 1/6,5/12,x It says to subtract all and add 1 or add all and subtract 1

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

no i saw it already

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

darn. always late sends

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay o:

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\[\implies 1 - (\frac 13 + \frac 16 + \frac 5{12})\] is that what you did?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

then you should've had \[1 - \frac {11}{12}\] not \[\frac{11}{12} - 1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not the same thing...?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

no

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

you can't subtract a bigger number from a smaller number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right. so what do i do?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

subtract 11/12 from 1

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\[\huge 1 - \frac{11}{12} \implies \frac{12}{12} - \frac{11}{12}\] what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

no

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\[\huge \frac{12}{12} - \frac{11}{12} \implies \frac{12 - 11}{12}\] copy the similar denominators then subtract numerators...remember?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/12

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i inserted a wrong answer and i got it wrong ><

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

really? 1/12 is wrong??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No i did not put in 1/12 I put it another different answer

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
