1. Problem Description

We are asked to evaluate the sum of three rational numbers: (12)+(+123)+(56)(-\frac{1}{2}) + (+1\frac{2}{3}) + (-\frac{5}{6}).

2. Solution Steps

First, convert the mixed number 1231\frac{2}{3} to an improper fraction.
123=1×3+23=3+23=531\frac{2}{3} = \frac{1 \times 3 + 2}{3} = \frac{3+2}{3} = \frac{5}{3}
The problem becomes:
(12)+(53)+(56)(-\frac{1}{2}) + (\frac{5}{3}) + (-\frac{5}{6}).
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 2, 3, and 6 is

6. So we convert each fraction to have a denominator of

6. $-\frac{1}{2} = -\frac{1 \times 3}{2 \times 3} = -\frac{3}{6}$

53=5×23×2=106\frac{5}{3} = \frac{5 \times 2}{3 \times 2} = \frac{10}{6}
56-\frac{5}{6} is already in the correct form.
Now, we add the fractions:
36+10656=3+1056=756=26-\frac{3}{6} + \frac{10}{6} - \frac{5}{6} = \frac{-3+10-5}{6} = \frac{7-5}{6} = \frac{2}{6}
Finally, simplify the fraction:
26=13\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}

3. Final Answer

13\frac{1}{3}
