Simplify 1(frac{3}{4} – (2 frac{1}{3} + 4))
-
A.
3(frac{5}{12}) -
B.
2(frac{7}{12}) -
C.
-4 (frac{7}{12}) -
D.
-5 (frac{7}{12})
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
1(frac{3}{4} – (2 frac{1}{3} + 4)) = (frac{7}{4} – (frac{7}{3} + frac{4}{1})); (frac{7 + 12}{3})
(frac{7}{4} – frac{19}{3} = frac{21 + 76}{12})
= (frac{-55}{12} = -4 frac{7}{12})
