The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \( 1 \frac{1}{5} - 1 \frac{1}{10} + 1 \frac{1}{20} = ? \), we will first convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions and then perform the operations step by step. ### Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions 1. For \( 1 \frac{1}{5} \): \[ 1 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5 \times 1 + 1}{5} = \frac{6}{5} \] 2. For \( 1 \frac{1}{10} \): \[ 1 \frac{1}{10} = \frac{10 \times 1 + 1}{10} = \frac{11}{10} \] 3. For \( 1 \frac{1}{20} \): \[ 1 \frac{1}{20} = \frac{20 \times 1 + 1}{20} = \frac{21}{20} \] ### Step 2: Substitute the improper fractions into the expression Now we can rewrite the expression: \[ \frac{6}{5} - \frac{11}{10} + \frac{21}{20} \] ### Step 3: Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators The denominators are 5, 10, and 20. The LCM of these numbers is 20. ### Step 4: Convert each fraction to have the common denominator of 20 1. Convert \( \frac{6}{5} \): \[ \frac{6}{5} = \frac{6 \times 4}{5 \times 4} = \frac{24}{20} \] 2. Convert \( \frac{11}{10} \): \[ \frac{11}{10} = \frac{11 \times 2}{10 \times 2} = \frac{22}{20} \] 3. \( \frac{21}{20} \) is already in terms of the common denominator. ### Step 5: Substitute back into the expression Now we can rewrite the expression: \[ \frac{24}{20} - \frac{22}{20} + \frac{21}{20} \] ### Step 6: Combine the fractions Combine the numerators over the common denominator: \[ \frac{24 - 22 + 21}{20} = \frac{24 - 22 + 21}{20} = \frac{2 + 21}{20} = \frac{23}{20} \] ### Step 7: Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number Convert \( \frac{23}{20} \) to a mixed number: \[ \frac{23}{20} = 1 \frac{3}{20} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of the question mark (?) is: \[ 1 \frac{3}{20} \] ---
