Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
The reciprocal of a fraction is its flipped form.
[tex]\boxed{\text{reciprocal of }\dfrac{A}{B} \implies \dfrac{B}{A}}[/tex]
So, the reciprocals of the given fractions are:
- [tex]4[/tex]
- [tex]13[/tex]
- [tex]-23[/tex]
Subtracting these sequentially, we get:
[tex]4-13-(-23)[/tex]
[tex]= 4 - 13 + 23[/tex]
[tex]= -9 + 23[/tex]
[tex]= 14[/tex]
