The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression \(1 \frac{13}{14} - 2 \frac{5}{6} + 1 \frac{6}{7}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions 1. Convert \(1 \frac{13}{14}\) to an improper fraction: \[ 1 \frac{13}{14} = \frac{1 \times 14 + 13}{14} = \frac{14 + 13}{14} = \frac{27}{14} \] 2. Convert \(2 \frac{5}{6}\) to an improper fraction: \[ 2 \frac{5}{6} = \frac{2 \times 6 + 5}{6} = \frac{12 + 5}{6} = \frac{17}{6} \] 3. Convert \(1 \frac{6}{7}\) to an improper fraction: \[ 1 \frac{6}{7} = \frac{1 \times 7 + 6}{7} = \frac{7 + 6}{7} = \frac{13}{7} \] ### Step 2: Rewrite the Expression Now we can rewrite the expression using the improper fractions: \[ \frac{27}{14} - \frac{17}{6} + \frac{13}{7} \] ### Step 3: Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) To perform the addition and subtraction, we need a common denominator. The denominators are \(14\), \(6\), and \(7\). 1. The prime factorization of each number: - \(14 = 2 \times 7\) - \(6 = 2 \times 3\) - \(7 = 7\) 2. The LCM is found by taking the highest power of each prime: \[ \text{LCM} = 2^1 \times 3^1 \times 7^1 = 42 \] ### Step 4: Convert Each Fraction to Have the Common Denominator 1. Convert \(\frac{27}{14}\): \[ \frac{27}{14} = \frac{27 \times 3}{14 \times 3} = \frac{81}{42} \] 2. Convert \(\frac{17}{6}\): \[ \frac{17}{6} = \frac{17 \times 7}{6 \times 7} = \frac{119}{42} \] 3. Convert \(\frac{13}{7}\): \[ \frac{13}{7} = \frac{13 \times 6}{7 \times 6} = \frac{78}{42} \] ### Step 5: Rewrite the Expression with Common Denominator Now the expression is: \[ \frac{81}{42} - \frac{119}{42} + \frac{78}{42} \] ### Step 6: Combine the Fractions Combine the fractions: \[ \frac{81 - 119 + 78}{42} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ 81 - 119 + 78 = 81 + 78 - 119 = 159 - 119 = 40 \] So, we have: \[ \frac{40}{42} \] ### Step 7: Simplify the Fraction Now, we simplify \(\frac{40}{42}\): \[ \frac{40 \div 2}{42 \div 2} = \frac{20}{21} \] ### Final Answer The simplified result of the expression \(1 \frac{13}{14} - 2 \frac{5}{6} + 1 \frac{6}{7}\) is: \[ \frac{20}{21} \] ---
