The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression \( 3 + 1 \frac{1}{5} + \frac{2}{3} - \frac{7}{15} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction The mixed number \( 1 \frac{1}{5} \) can be converted to an improper fraction. - Multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (5) and add the numerator (1): \[ 1 \times 5 + 1 = 5 + 1 = 6 \] - Therefore, \( 1 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{6}{5} \). So, the expression now becomes: \[ 3 + \frac{6}{5} + \frac{2}{3} - \frac{7}{15} \] ### Step 2: Convert the whole number to a fraction Next, convert the whole number \( 3 \) to a fraction with a common denominator. We can express \( 3 \) as: \[ 3 = \frac{3 \times 15}{15} = \frac{45}{15} \] Now the expression is: \[ \frac{45}{15} + \frac{6}{5} + \frac{2}{3} - \frac{7}{15} \] ### Step 3: Find a common denominator The denominators we have are \( 15, 5, \) and \( 3 \). The least common multiple (LCM) of these numbers is \( 15 \). ### Step 4: Convert all fractions to have the common denominator - The fraction \( \frac{6}{5} \) needs to be converted: \[ \frac{6}{5} = \frac{6 \times 3}{5 \times 3} = \frac{18}{15} \] - The fraction \( \frac{2}{3} \) needs to be converted: \[ \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = \frac{10}{15} \] Now the expression is: \[ \frac{45}{15} + \frac{18}{15} + \frac{10}{15} - \frac{7}{15} \] ### Step 5: Combine the fractions Now that all fractions have the same denominator, we can combine them: \[ \frac{45 + 18 + 10 - 7}{15} = \frac{66}{15} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the fraction Now we need to simplify \( \frac{66}{15} \). The greatest common divisor (GCD) of \( 66 \) and \( 15 \) is \( 3 \). - Divide both the numerator and the denominator by \( 3 \): \[ \frac{66 \div 3}{15 \div 3} = \frac{22}{5} \] ### Final Answer The simplified expression is: \[ \frac{22}{5} \] ---
