Answer:- 1

Explanation:-

Solution:

\begin{aligned} Sum of given fractions \\ = \frac{7}{4} + \frac{5}{2} + \frac{67}{12} + \frac{10}{3} + \frac{9}{4} \\ = (\frac{21 + 30 + 67 + 40 + 24}{12}) \\ = \frac{85}{12} \\ The whole number just \\ less than \frac{185}{12} is 15 \\ let \frac{185}{12} - x = 15 \\ Then, \\ x = (\frac{185}{12} - 15) \\ = \frac{5}{12} \end{aligned}

$\eqalign{ & {\text{Sum of given fractions}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\frac{7}{4} + \frac{5}{2} + \frac{{67}}{{12}} + \frac{{10}}{3} + \frac{9}{4} \cr & = \left( {\frac{{21 + 30 + 67 + 40 + 24}}{{12}}} \right) \cr & = \frac{{85}}{{12}} \cr & {\text{The whole number just }} \cr & {\text{less than }}\frac{{185}}{{12}}{\text{ is 15}} \cr & {\text{let }}\frac{{185}}{{12}} - x = 15 \cr & {\text{Then,}} \cr & x = \left( {\frac{{185}}{{12}} - 15} \right) \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{5}{{12}} \cr}$
