Solution steps

(\frac{13}{5} - \frac{1}{2}) + \frac{1}{6}

Follow the PEMDAS order of operations

Calculate within parentheses

(\frac{13}{5} - \frac{1}{2}) : \frac{21}{10}

\frac{13}{5} - \frac{1}{2}

\frac{13}{5} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{21}{10}

= 10

Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its

corresponding denominator to turn it into the LCM

10

For

\frac{13}{5} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

2

\frac{13}{5} = \frac{13 \cdot 2}{5 \cdot 2} = \frac{26}{10}

For

\frac{1}{2} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

5

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \cdot 5}{2 \cdot 5} = \frac{5}{10}

= \frac{26}{10} - \frac{5}{10}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{26 - 5}{10}

Subtract the numbers:

26 - 5 = 21

= \frac{21}{10}

= \frac{21}{10}

= \frac{21}{10} + \frac{1}{6}

Add and subtract (left to right)

\frac{21}{10} + \frac{1}{6} : \frac{34}{15}

\frac{21}{10} + \frac{1}{6}

\frac{21}{10} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{34}{15}

\frac{21}{10} + \frac{1}{6}

For

\frac{21}{10} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

3

\frac{21}{10} = \frac{21 \cdot 3}{10 \cdot 3} = \frac{63}{30}

For

\frac{1}{6} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

5

\frac{1}{6} = \frac{1 \cdot 5}{6 \cdot 5} = \frac{5}{30}

= \frac{63}{30} + \frac{5}{30}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{63 + 5}{30}

Add the numbers:

63 + 5 = 68

= \frac{68}{30}

Cancel the common factor:

= \frac{34}{15}

= \frac{34}{15}

= \frac{34}{15}
