ANSWER
23/8
EXPLANATION
To solve this, first, we have to do the operations in the parenthesis. The first one is a subtraction between a mixed number and a fraction, so before doing the subtraction, we have to convert the number to an improper fraction by adding the parts,
[tex]1\frac{3}{4}=1+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{7}{4}[/tex]So the subtraction is,
[tex]1\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{7}{4}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{2\cdot7-1}{8}=\frac{14-1}{8}=\frac{13}{8}[/tex]Then we divide the second term using the KCF rule:
• K,eep the first fraction
,• C,hange the division sign for a multiplication sign
,• F,lip the second fraction
[tex]\frac{5}{6}\div\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{6}\times\frac{3}{2}=\frac{15}{12}=\frac{5}{4}[/tex]Now, we add these two results,
[tex]\frac{13}{8}+\frac{5}{4}=\frac{13+5\cdot2}{8}=\frac{13+10}{8}=\frac{23}{8}[/tex]Hence, the answer is 23/8.
