To solve the expression \( 8 - (3 - \frac{1}{4}) + 1 \frac{1}{6} \), let's break it down step by step.
Convert mixed number to an improper fraction:
\( 1 \frac{1}{6} = \frac{6 \cdot 1 + 1}{6} = \frac{7}{6} \)Substitute the mixed number back into the expression:
The expression now looks like:
\( 8 - (3 - \frac{1}{4}) + \frac{7}{6} \)Evaluate the parenthesis:
Inside the parentheses, we calculate:
\( 3 - \frac{1}{4} \)
To do this, convert \( 3 \) to a fraction with a denominator of 4:
\( 3 = \frac{12}{4} \)
Thus,
\( 3 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{12}{4} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{11}{4} \)Substitute back into the expression:
Now the expression is:
\( 8 - \frac{11}{4} + \frac{7}{6} \)Convert \( 8 \) to a fraction with a common denominator (LCM of 4 and 6 is 12):
\( 8 = \frac{96}{12} \)
\( \frac{11}{4} = \frac{33}{12} \) (by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3)
\( \frac{7}{6} = \frac{14}{12} \) (by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 2)Substitute everything back into the expression:
The expression now reads:
\( \frac{96}{12} - \frac{33}{12} + \frac{14}{12} \)Combine the fractions:
\( \frac{96 - 33 + 14}{12} = \frac{96 - 33 + 14}{12} = \frac{77}{12} \)Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number:
\( \frac{77}{12} = 6 \frac{5}{12} \)
So the result of the expression \( 8 - (3 - \frac{1}{4}) + 1 \frac{1}{6} \) is:
\[
6 \frac{5}{12}
\]
