The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \( 5 \left( \frac{1}{5} \right) - \left[ 3 \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) - \left\{ \frac{5}{6} - \left( \frac{3}{5} + \frac{1}{10} - \frac{4}{15} \right) \right\} \right] \), we will follow the order of operations (BODMAS/BIDMAS). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Simplify the first term**: \[ 5 \left( \frac{1}{5} \right) = 1 \] **Hint**: Multiply the whole number by the fraction. 2. **Simplify the innermost bracket**: \[ \frac{3}{5} + \frac{1}{10} - \frac{4}{15} \] To simplify this, we need to find a common denominator. The LCM of 5, 10, and 15 is 30. Converting each fraction: \[ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{18}{30}, \quad \frac{1}{10} = \frac{3}{30}, \quad \frac{4}{15} = \frac{8}{30} \] Now substituting back: \[ \frac{18}{30} + \frac{3}{30} - \frac{8}{30} = \frac{18 + 3 - 8}{30} = \frac{13}{30} \] **Hint**: Always convert fractions to a common denominator before adding or subtracting. 3. **Substitute back into the expression**: \[ 1 - \left[ 3 \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) - \left( \frac{5}{6} - \frac{13}{30} \right) \right] \] 4. **Calculate \( 3 \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) \)**: \[ 3 \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) = \frac{3}{2} \] **Hint**: Again, multiply the whole number by the fraction. 5. **Now simplify the bracket**: \[ \frac{5}{6} - \frac{13}{30} \] The LCM of 6 and 30 is 30. Converting: \[ \frac{5}{6} = \frac{25}{30} \] Now substituting back: \[ \frac{25}{30} - \frac{13}{30} = \frac{25 - 13}{30} = \frac{12}{30} = \frac{2}{5} \] **Hint**: Convert fractions to a common denominator for subtraction. 6. **Substituting back**: \[ 1 - \left( \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{5} \right) \] 7. **Calculate \( \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{5} \)**: The LCM of 2 and 5 is 10. Converting: \[ \frac{3}{2} = \frac{15}{10}, \quad \frac{2}{5} = \frac{4}{10} \] Now substituting back: \[ \frac{15}{10} - \frac{4}{10} = \frac{15 - 4}{10} = \frac{11}{10} \] **Hint**: Always convert fractions to a common denominator before performing operations. 8. **Final calculation**: \[ 1 - \frac{11}{10} = \frac{10}{10} - \frac{11}{10} = -\frac{1}{10} \] **Hint**: When subtracting fractions, ensure you keep track of the signs. ### Final Answer: The expression simplifies to: \[ -\frac{1}{10} \]
