5 1/3 + (-3 9/18)

Answer 1

Answer: Simplified form is

`1(5)/(6)`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

`5(1)/(3)-3(9)/(18)`

Now, we will simplify it with the following steps :

`5(1)/(3)-3(9)/(18)\\\\=(16)/(3)-3(1)/(2)\\\\=(16)/(3)-(7)/(2)\\\\=(32-21)/(6)\\\\=(11)/(6)\\\\=1(5)/(6)`

Hence, simplified form is

`1(5)/(6)`
