Simplify 1(frac{1}{2} + 2frac{1}{3} times frac{3}{4} – frac{1}{2})
-
A.
-2(frac{1}{3}) -
B.
-2(frac{1}{4}) -
C.
2(frac{1}{8}) -
D.
2(frac{3}{4})
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
1(frac{1}{2} + 2frac{1}{3} times frac{3}{4} – frac{1}{2})
(frac{3}{2} + frac{7}{3} times frac{3}{4} – frac{1}{2} = frac{3}{2} + frac{7}{4} – frac{1}{2})
= (frac{6 + 7 – 2}{4} = frac{11}{4})
= 2(frac{3}{4})
