The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \( \frac{2}{1 + \frac{1}{1 - \frac{1}{2}}} \times \frac{3}{\frac{5}{6} \text{ of } \frac{3}{2} - 1 \frac{1}{4}} \), we will break it down into manageable steps. ### Step 1: Simplify the denominator of the first fraction We need to simplify \( 1 - \frac{1}{2} \). \[ 1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \] **Hint:** When subtracting fractions, find a common denominator if necessary. ### Step 2: Substitute back into the expression Now substitute back into the expression: \[ \frac{2}{1 + \frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}} \] ### Step 3: Simplify \( \frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}} \) Calculating \( \frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}} \): \[ \frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}} = 2 \] **Hint:** Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. ### Step 4: Substitute this value back Now the expression becomes: \[ \frac{2}{1 + 2} = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the second part of the expression Next, we need to simplify \( \frac{5}{6} \text{ of } \frac{3}{2} \): \[ \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{5 \times 3}{6 \times 2} = \frac{15}{12} = \frac{5}{4} \] **Hint:** "Of" in fractions usually means to multiply. ### Step 6: Now substitute this back into the expression Now we need to simplify \( \frac{5}{4} - 1 \frac{1}{4} \): Convert \( 1 \frac{1}{4} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 1 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \] Now, we can perform the subtraction: \[ \frac{5}{4} - \frac{5}{4} = 0 \] **Hint:** When subtracting fractions, ensure they have the same denominator. ### Step 7: Substitute back into the expression Now we substitute back into the expression: \[ \frac{3}{0} \] ### Step 8: Conclusion Since division by zero is undefined, the expression does not yield a valid numerical result. **Final Answer:** The expression is undefined.
