    We need to get a common denominator for these fractions. In this case, it will be 30

    5/6 * 5/5 = 25/30

    3/2 * 15/15 = 45/30

    8/10 * 3/3 = 24/30

    Now we will plug these in and solve, giving us

    25/30 + 45/30 - 24/30 = 46/30

    Simplifying we get 23/15 and this can't be simplified any more so it is your answer!

    5/6 + 3/2 - 8/10

    = 25/30 + 45/30 - 24/30 converting into equivalent fractions

    = (25 + 45 - 24)/30

    = 46/30

    = 1 16/30

    = 1 8/15

    5/6 + 3/2 - 8/10 is

    5/6 + 9/6 - 8/10

    then it's

    14/6 - 8/10

    then it's

    7/3 - 4/5

    so it beomes

    35/15 - 12/15 =

    23/15

    or

    1 8/15.
