The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression \( (2 \frac{4}{5} - 1 \frac{3}{5}) \div (3 \frac{3}{5} - 2 \frac{1}{5}) \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions First, we need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. - For \( 2 \frac{4}{5} \): \[ 2 \frac{4}{5} = \frac{(2 \times 5) + 4}{5} = \frac{10 + 4}{5} = \frac{14}{5} \] - For \( 1 \frac{3}{5} \): \[ 1 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{(1 \times 5) + 3}{5} = \frac{5 + 3}{5} = \frac{8}{5} \] - For \( 3 \frac{3}{5} \): \[ 3 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{(3 \times 5) + 3}{5} = \frac{15 + 3}{5} = \frac{18}{5} \] - For \( 2 \frac{1}{5} \): \[ 2 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{(2 \times 5) + 1}{5} = \frac{10 + 1}{5} = \frac{11}{5} \] ### Step 2: Substitute Back into the Expression Now we can substitute these improper fractions back into the expression: \[ \left( \frac{14}{5} - \frac{8}{5} \right) \div \left( \frac{18}{5} - \frac{11}{5} \right) \] ### Step 3: Perform the Subtraction Now, we perform the subtraction in both the numerator and the denominator: - In the numerator: \[ \frac{14}{5} - \frac{8}{5} = \frac{14 - 8}{5} = \frac{6}{5} \] - In the denominator: \[ \frac{18}{5} - \frac{11}{5} = \frac{18 - 11}{5} = \frac{7}{5} \] ### Step 4: Rewrite the Division as Multiplication Now we can rewrite the division of fractions: \[ \frac{6}{5} \div \frac{7}{5} = \frac{6}{5} \times \frac{5}{7} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Expression Now we can simplify: \[ \frac{6 \times 5}{5 \times 7} = \frac{6}{7} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the simplified form of the expression is: \[ \frac{6}{7} \] ---
