The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression \( \frac{3}{5} \) of \( 1 \frac{1}{9} + 3 \frac{1}{2} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions First, we need to convert the mixed numbers \( 1 \frac{1}{9} \) and \( 3 \frac{1}{2} \) into improper fractions. - For \( 1 \frac{1}{9} \): \[ 1 \frac{1}{9} = \frac{1 \times 9 + 1}{9} = \frac{9 + 1}{9} = \frac{10}{9} \] - For \( 3 \frac{1}{2} \): \[ 3 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{6 + 1}{2} = \frac{7}{2} \] ### Step 2: Add the improper fractions Now, we will add \( \frac{10}{9} \) and \( \frac{7}{2} \). To do this, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 9 and 2 is 18. - Convert \( \frac{10}{9} \) to have a denominator of 18: \[ \frac{10}{9} = \frac{10 \times 2}{9 \times 2} = \frac{20}{18} \] - Convert \( \frac{7}{2} \) to have a denominator of 18: \[ \frac{7}{2} = \frac{7 \times 9}{2 \times 9} = \frac{63}{18} \] Now we can add them: \[ \frac{20}{18} + \frac{63}{18} = \frac{20 + 63}{18} = \frac{83}{18} \] ### Step 3: Multiply by \( \frac{3}{5} \) Next, we need to multiply \( \frac{3}{5} \) by \( \frac{83}{18} \): \[ \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{83}{18} = \frac{3 \times 83}{5 \times 18} = \frac{249}{90} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the fraction Now we will simplify \( \frac{249}{90} \). We can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 249 and 90. - The GCD of 249 and 90 is 3. Therefore, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by 3: \[ \frac{249 \div 3}{90 \div 3} = \frac{83}{30} \] ### Step 5: Convert to mixed number (if necessary) Now we can convert \( \frac{83}{30} \) into a mixed number: - Divide 83 by 30: \[ 83 \div 30 = 2 \quad \text{(remainder 23)} \] Thus, we can write: \[ \frac{83}{30} = 2 \frac{23}{30} \] ### Final Answer The simplified form of \( \frac{3}{5} \) of \( 1 \frac{1}{9} + 3 \frac{1}{2} \) is: \[ 2 \frac{23}{30} \]
