Beyond the Answer
1.1 To calculate \( 1 \frac{3}{4} + 1 \frac{1}{12} - 2 \frac{5}{6} \), first convert all mixed numbers into improper fractions: \( 1 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{7}{4}, \) \( 1 \frac{1}{12} = \frac{13}{12}, \) and \( 2 \frac{5}{6} = \frac{17}{6}. \) Now finding a common denominator, which is 12: \(\frac{7}{4} \rightarrow \frac{21}{12}, \, \frac{13}{12}, \, \text{and} \, \frac{17}{6} \rightarrow \frac{34}{12}. \) Now we can write: \( \frac{21}{12} + \frac{13}{12} - \frac{34}{12} = \frac{21 + 13 - 34}{12} = \frac{0}{12} = 0. \) 1.3 To determine the duration between the train's departure and arrival times: From Tuesday 7:25 to Friday 23:47, the total time can be calculated as follows: 1. From Tuesday 7:25 to Wednesday 7:25 is 24 hours. 2. From Wednesday 7:25 to Thursday 7:25 is another 24 hours. 3. From Thursday 7:25 to Friday 7:25 is yet another 24 hours, totaling 72 hours. 4. Finally, calculate from Friday 7:25 to 23:47, which is 16 hours and 22 minutes. Combining these gives: \( 72 \text{ hours} + 16 \text{ hours} + 22 \text{ minutes} = 3 \text{ days}, 16 \text{ hours}, 22 \text{ minutes} \).
