Solve (-1/8)*(-2/3)+5/6

$$( - \frac { 1 } { 8 } ) \times ( - \frac { 2 } { 3 } ) + \frac { 5 } { 6 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{11}{12}\approx 0.916666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply -\frac{1}{8} times -\frac{2}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{-\left(-2\right)}{8\times 3}+\frac{5}{6}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{-\left(-2\right)}{8\times 3}.

$$\frac{2}{24}+\frac{5}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{24} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{1}{12}+\frac{5}{6}$$

Least common multiple of 12 and 6 is 12. Convert \frac{1}{12} and \frac{5}{6} to fractions with denominator 12.

$$\frac{1}{12}+\frac{10}{12}$$

Since \frac{1}{12} and \frac{10}{12} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+10}{12}$$

Add 1 and 10 to get 11.

$$\frac{11}{12}$$

Factor

$$\frac{11}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3} = 0.9166666666666666$$
