1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.644
Here is the problem: 5 minus (4 over 12) times 1 plus 3.

2
00:00:05.094 --> 00:00:08.879
Exact arithmetic with fractions (results kept in lowest terms).

3
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:13.046
Multiply numerators and multiply denominators.

4
00:00:13.496 --> 00:00:19.568
Rewrite both fractions with the least common denominator. The LCD of 1 and 3 is 3.

5
00:00:20.018 --> 00:00:22.851
Subtract the numerators and keep the denominator.

6
00:00:23.301 --> 00:00:29.118
Rewrite both fractions with the least common denominator. The LCD of 3 and 1 is 3.

7
00:00:29.918 --> 00:00:32.182
Add the numerators and keep the denominator.

8
00:00:32.632 --> 00:00:34.768
Final answer in lowest terms.

9
00:00:35.568 --> 00:00:38.111
So the answer is 23 over 3.

10
00:00:38.561 --> 00:00:51.204
Fractions are combined over a common denominator for addition and subtraction, multiplied straight across, and divided by multiplying by the reciprocal. The result is reduced by the greatest common factor.

11
00:00:52.004 --> 00:00:58.482
Decimal check: 23 over 3 approximately 7.666666667.

12
00:00:58.932 --> 00:01:01.718
As a mixed number: 7 2 over 3.
