Answer 6

how do i solve that? -3 - 7/12

Answer 7

You got the bit in brackets wrong

\[1\div3+3\div4\]

Answer 9

Good Lord! I am trying to help my daughter and I do not know how to do it. This is crazy!

Answer 10

Hehehehee

Answer 11

why would you divide?

Answer 12

1/3 means 1 divided by 3

Answer 13

one third plus three fourths

Answer 14

Ok 1/3 +3/4 find a common denominator (number on the bottom)

So 3x4=12 so multiply all parts of 1/3 by four and get 4/12

4/12 = 1/3

Answer 15

do the same with 3/4 and we get 9/12

So 3/4 = 9/12

Answer 16

In brackets the equation is (\[(4+9)\div12\])

Answer 17

so that would be 13/12 or 1 and 1/12?

Answer 18

Exactly the same thing...............see it's all coming back ;D

Answer 19

then what would you get for the answer if -3 - 1 and 1/12?

Answer 26

so do you find common denominators

Answer 27

Yep and they would be?

Answer 28

answer would be -23 over 12 or -1 and 11 over 12?

Answer 29

I don't know let's work it out

common denominator is 12 so we h
\[-36+13\div12\]

Answer 30

which = -23/12 or -1 11/12 as you said
