Step-by-step solution

3 steps

Here is the solution to the fraction problem:

1) 23−56+12\frac{2}{3} - \frac{5}{6} + \frac{1}{2}

  1. Find a common denominator for 3, 6, and 2.

    The least common multiple (LCM) is 6.
    Convert each fraction to have a denominator of 6.

    23=2×23×2=46\frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 2}{3 \times 2} = \frac{4}{6} 56 (remains the same)\frac{5}{6} \text{ (remains the same)} 12=1×32×3=36\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 3}{2 \times 3} = \frac{3}{6}
  2. Perform the operations from left to right with the common denominator.

    46−56+36=4−5+36\frac{4}{6} - \frac{5}{6} + \frac{3}{6} = \frac{4 - 5 + 3}{6} 4−5+36=−1+36=26\frac{4 - 5 + 3}{6} = \frac{-1 + 3}{6} = \frac{2}{6}
  3. Simplify the resulting fraction.

    26=13\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}

    The final answer is 13\frac{1}{3}.
