Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
2\(\frac{5}{12}\) - 1\(\frac{7}{8}\) x \(\frac{6}{5}\) = \(\frac{29}{12}\) - \(\frac{15}{8}\) x \(\frac{6}{5}\)
= \(\frac{29}{12}\) - \(\frac{9}{4}\)
= \(\frac{29 - 27}{12}\)
= \(\frac{2}{12}\)
= \(\frac{1}{6}\)
2\(\frac{5}{12}\) - 1\(\frac{7}{8}\) x \(\frac{6}{5}\) = \(\frac{29}{12}\) - \(\frac{15}{8}\) x \(\frac{6}{5}\)
= \(\frac{29}{12}\) - \(\frac{9}{4}\)
= \(\frac{29 - 27}{12}\)
= \(\frac{2}{12}\)
= \(\frac{1}{6}\)
