- A. 6\(\frac{4}{15}\)
- B. 6\(\frac{11}{15}\)
- C. 7\(\frac{4}{15}\)
- D. 7\(\frac{11}{15}\)
Correct Answer: B. 6\(\frac{11}{15}\)
Explanation
10\(\frac{2}{5} - 6 \frac{2}{3} + 3\)
\(\frac{52}{5} - \frac{20}{3} + \frac{3}{1}\)
= \(\frac{156 - 100 + 45}{15}\)
\(\frac{156 + 45 - 100}{15}\)
= \(\frac{201 - 100}{15}\)
= \(\frac{101}{15}\)
= 6\(\frac{11}{15}\)
