Answer:
[tex]1\frac{5}{12}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Eliminating a negative and changing our operation
[tex]1\frac{5}{6} +3\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Rewriting our equation with parts separated
[tex]-1-\frac{5}{6} +3+\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Solving the whole number parts
[tex]-1+3=2[/tex]
Solving the fraction parts
[tex]-\frac{5}{6} +\frac{1}{4} =[?][/tex]
Find the LCD of 5/6 and 1/4 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.
LCD = 12
[tex]-\frac{10}{12} +\frac{3}{12}=-\frac{7}{12}[/tex]
Combining the whole and fraction parts
[tex]2-\frac{7}{12} =1\frac{5}{12}[/tex]
