Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this fraction problem, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Evaluate the Division:
    The expression starts with 23÷34 \frac{2}{3} \div \frac{3}{4} . To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal:
    23×43=2×43×3=89 \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{2 \times 4}{3 \times 3} = \frac{8}{9}
  • Step 2: Add Fractions:
    Now add 89 \frac{8}{9} to 19 \frac{1}{9} . Since the denominators are the same, add the numerators directly:
    89+19=8+19=99=1 \frac{8}{9} + \frac{1}{9} = \frac{8 + 1}{9} = \frac{9}{9} = 1

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: To divide 35 \frac{3}{5} by 56 \frac{5}{6} , we multiply by the reciprocal of 56 \frac{5}{6} . This gives us:

35×65=3×65×5=1825 \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{6}{5} = \frac{3 \times 6}{5 \times 5} = \frac{18}{25}

Step 2: Now, add 15 \frac{1}{5} to 1825 \frac{18}{25} . First, we convert 15 \frac{1}{5} to the same denominator as 1825 \frac{18}{25} :

15=525 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{25}

Step 3: Add 1825 \frac{18}{25} and 525 \frac{5}{25} :

1825+525=18+525=2325 \frac{18}{25} + \frac{5}{25} = \frac{18 + 5}{25} = \frac{23}{25}

Thus, the solution to the problem is 2325\frac{23}{25}.

  • Step 2: Use the formula ab:cd=ab×dc\frac{a}{b} : \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c}.
  • Step 3: Simplify the division result.
  • Step 4: Add 12 \frac{1}{2} to the result of the division.
  • Step 5: Simplify the addition result to get the final answer.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: We need to calculate 34:54 \frac{3}{4} : \frac{5}{4} . Using the division of fractions formula, this becomes:

34×45=3×44×5=1220 \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{3 \times 4}{4 \times 5} = \frac{12}{20} .

Step 2: Simplify 1220 \frac{12}{20} . Divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:

12÷420÷4=35 \frac{12 \div 4}{20 \div 4} = \frac{3}{5} .

Step 3: Add 12 \frac{1}{2} to the result 35\frac{3}{5}:

The common denominator for addition is 10. Therefore:

35=3×25×2=610 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \frac{6}{10} and 12=1×52×5=510 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 5}{2 \times 5} = \frac{5}{10} .

Add these two fractions:

610+510=6+510=1110 \frac{6}{10} + \frac{5}{10} = \frac{6 + 5}{10} = \frac{11}{10} .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 1110 \frac{11}{10} .

Answer

Exercise #6

34×3414= \frac{3}{4}\times\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this mathematical problem, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Multiply the fractions 34\frac{3}{4} and 34\frac{3}{4}.
  • Step 2: Subtract 14\frac{1}{4} from the product obtained in Step 1.

Let's execute each step in detail:

Step 1: Calculate the product of 34\frac{3}{4} and 34\frac{3}{4}.

To multiply two fractions, multiply their numerators and their denominators separately:

34×34=3×34×4=916 \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 4} = \frac{9}{16}

Step 2: Subtract 14\frac{1}{4} from 916\frac{9}{16}.

Before we subtract 14\frac{1}{4} from 916\frac{9}{16}, we need a common denominator. The common denominator for these fractions is 16:

14=1×44×4=416 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 4}{4 \times 4} = \frac{4}{16}

Now subtract 416\frac{4}{16} from 916\frac{9}{16}:

916416=9416=516 \frac{9}{16} - \frac{4}{16} = \frac{9 - 4}{16} = \frac{5}{16}

Therefore, the solution to the given problem is 516 \frac{5}{16} .

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve 12×12+34\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{4}, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Multiply 12×12\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} by using the multiplication of fractions formula:
    12×12=1×12×2=14\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 1}{2 \times 2} = \frac{1}{4}.
  • Step 2: Add 14\frac{1}{4} to 34\frac{3}{4}.
    Since 14\frac{1}{4} and 34\frac{3}{4} already have the same denominator, the addition can be done directly:
    14+34=1+34=44=1\frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1 + 3}{4} = \frac{4}{4} = 1.

Therefore, the correct solution to the expression is 1 1 .

Exercise #8

35×23+25= \frac{3}{5}\times\frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{5}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 35×23+25 \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{5} , we proceed with the following steps:

  • Step 1: Multiply the fractions 35\frac{3}{5} and 23\frac{2}{3}.

The multiplication yields:

35×23=3×25×3=615\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3 \times 2}{5 \times 3} = \frac{6}{15}

  • Step 2: Simplify the product 615\frac{6}{15}.

Both 6 and 15 share a common factor of 3:

615=6÷315÷3=25\frac{6}{15} = \frac{6 \div 3}{15 \div 3} = \frac{2}{5}

  • Step 3: Add 25\frac{2}{5} to the simplified result 25\frac{2}{5}.

Since the fractions 25\frac{2}{5} and 25\frac{2}{5} have the same denominator, add the numerators while keeping the denominator:

25+25=2+25=45\frac{2}{5} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{2+2}{5} = \frac{4}{5}

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 45 \frac{4}{5} .

Substitute the values:

23×13=2×13×3=29 \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2 \times 1}{3 \times 3} = \frac{2}{9} .

Step 2: Add 29\frac{2}{9} to the product.

We found in Step 1 that 23×13=29 \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{9} .

Now add 29+29=2+29=49 \frac{2}{9} + \frac{2}{9} = \frac{2 + 2}{9} = \frac{4}{9} .

Therefore, the solution to the expression is 49 \frac{4}{9} .

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll approach it in the following steps:

Step 1: Perform the Multiplication
The expression begins with multiplying two fractions: 14×45 \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{4}{5} . Using the formula for multiplying fractions, we get:
1×44×5=420 \frac{1 \times 4}{4 \times 5} = \frac{4}{20}
Simplifying 420 \frac{4}{20} by dividing both numerator and denominator by 4 gives:
15 \frac{1}{5}

Step 2: Add the Result to the Second Fraction
Now, we need to add 15 \frac{1}{5} to 1120 \frac{11}{20} . To do this, we first find a common denominator.
The least common denominator between 5 and 20 is 20. Convert 15 \frac{1}{5} to twentieths:

Now add 420 \frac{4}{20} to 1120 \frac{11}{20} :
420+1120=1520 \frac{4}{20} + \frac{11}{20} = \frac{15}{20}

Step 3: Simplify the Final Result
Simplify 1520\frac{15}{20} by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 5:
15÷520÷5=34 \frac{15 \div 5}{20 \div 5} = \frac{3}{4}

To solve the problem 58+1214 \frac{5}{8} + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4} , we will follow these steps:

Step 1: Find the least common denominator (LCD).
The denominators are 8, 2, and 4. The least common multiple of these numbers is 8.

Step 2: Convert each fraction to have a denominator of 8.
- 58 \frac{5}{8} already has the denominator 8.
- 12=1×42×4=48 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 4}{2 \times 4} = \frac{4}{8} .
- 14=1×24×2=28 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 2}{4 \times 2} = \frac{2}{8} .

Step 3: Perform the arithmetic operations.
First, add 58 \frac{5}{8} and 48 \frac{4}{8} :
58+48=5+48=98 \frac{5}{8} + \frac{4}{8} = \frac{5 + 4}{8} = \frac{9}{8} .
Then, subtract 28 \frac{2}{8} from 98 \frac{9}{8} :
9828=928=78 \frac{9}{8} - \frac{2}{8} = \frac{9 - 2}{8} = \frac{7}{8} .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 78 \frac{7}{8} .

Answer

78 \frac{7}{8}

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 341214 \frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4} , follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Perform the multiplication operation:
    Calculate 3412 \frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{2} :
    Multiply the numerators: 3×1=3 3 \times 1 = 3 .
    Multiply the denominators: 4×2=8 4 \times 2 = 8 .
    Thus, 3412=38 \frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{8} .
  • Step 2: Perform the subtraction operation:
    Now, subtract 14 \frac{1}{4} from 38 \frac{3}{8} .
    Before subtracting, we need a common denominator. The least common denominator of 8 8 and 4 4 is 8 8 .
    Convert 14 \frac{1}{4} to have a denominator of 8 8 :
    14=1×24×2=28 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 2}{4 \times 2} = \frac{2}{8} .
    Now, subtract the fractions:
    3828=328=18 \frac{3}{8} - \frac{2}{8} = \frac{3 - 2}{8} = \frac{1}{8} .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 18 \frac{1}{8} .

Answer

18 \frac{1}{8}
