To solve this expression, we need to simplify each operation step by step.
First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
(-1/12 + 2/5) = (-5/60 + 24/60) = 19/60
(- 0.36 - 0.64) = -1.0
Now we can substitute these values back into the original expression and simplify further:
19/60 - (-1.0) - 1 13/15
= 19/60 + 1.0 - 1 13/15
= 19/60 + 60/60 - 1 13/15
= 79/60 - 1 13/15
Now, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
1 13/15 = (15*1 + 13)/15 = 28/15
= 79/60 - 1 28/15
= 79/60 - 90/15
= 79/60 - 6
To subtract fractions with unlike denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 60.
= (79 - 360)/60
= -281/60
Therefore, the final result of the expression is -281/60 or -4 41/60.
