Make the denominators common first..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldn't you do the oder of operations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3 \times \frac{24}{24} + \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{3}{3} - \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{4}{4} \implies \frac{(3 \cdot 24) + (5 \cdot 3) - (1 \cdot 4)}{24}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 + 5/8 - 1/6 (common denominator is 24) 72/24 + 15/24 - 4/24 87/24 - 4/24 = 83/24 = 3 11/24
