The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( 1 \frac{1}{3} + 2 \frac{1}{6} - 3 \frac{1}{9} = 1 - ? \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions 1. Convert \( 1 \frac{1}{3} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 1 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3 \times 1 + 1}{3} = \frac{4}{3} \] 2. Convert \( 2 \frac{1}{6} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 2 \frac{1}{6} = \frac{6 \times 2 + 1}{6} = \frac{13}{6} \] 3. Convert \( 3 \frac{1}{9} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 3 \frac{1}{9} = \frac{9 \times 3 + 1}{9} = \frac{28}{9} \] ### Step 2: Substitute the Improper Fractions into the Equation Now substitute these improper fractions back into the equation: \[ \frac{4}{3} + \frac{13}{6} - \frac{28}{9} = 1 - ? \] ### Step 3: Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) To add and subtract these fractions, we need to find the LCM of the denominators \( 3, 6, \) and \( 9 \): - The LCM of \( 3, 6, \) and \( 9 \) is \( 18 \). ### Step 4: Convert Each Fraction to Have the Same Denominator 1. Convert \( \frac{4}{3} \): \[ \frac{4}{3} = \frac{4 \times 6}{3 \times 6} = \frac{24}{18} \] 2. Convert \( \frac{13}{6} \): \[ \frac{13}{6} = \frac{13 \times 3}{6 \times 3} = \frac{39}{18} \] 3. Convert \( \frac{28}{9} \): \[ \frac{28}{9} = \frac{28 \times 2}{9 \times 2} = \frac{56}{18} \] ### Step 5: Combine the Fractions Now we can combine the fractions: \[ \frac{24}{18} + \frac{39}{18} - \frac{56}{18} = \frac{(24 + 39 - 56)}{18} = \frac{7}{18} \] ### Step 6: Set Up the Equation Now we have: \[ \frac{7}{18} = 1 - ? \] ### Step 7: Solve for ? Rearranging gives: \[ ? = 1 - \frac{7}{18} \] ### Step 8: Convert 1 to a Fraction with the Same Denominator Convert \( 1 \) to a fraction: \[ 1 = \frac{18}{18} \] ### Step 9: Perform the Subtraction Now subtract: \[ ? = \frac{18}{18} - \frac{7}{18} = \frac{11}{18} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value that comes in place of the question mark (?) is: \[ \boxed{\frac{11}{18}} \]
