Answer:
[tex]Change = 1\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Increment = 1\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Decrement = 1\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]Increment = 1\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Required
Determine the overall change
The overall change is calculated by adding all increments and subtract the decrement.
This is done as follows;
[tex]Change = 1\frac{1}{4} - 1\frac{2}{3} + 1\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Convert to Improper Fraction
[tex]Change = \frac{5}{4} - \frac{5}{3} + \frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]Change = \frac{15 - 20 + 18}{12}[/tex]
[tex]Change = \frac{13}{12}[/tex]
Convert to mixed number
[tex]Change = 1\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
Hence; the overall change is an increment of [tex]1\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
