The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression \( 2 \div \frac{3}{17} \text{ of } \left(2 \frac{3}{4} + 3 \frac{5}{8}\right) + \frac{2}{5} \div 2 \frac{1}{5} + \frac{2}{9} \), we will follow the order of operations (BODMAS/BIDMAS). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions:** - Convert \( 2 \frac{3}{4} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 2 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{2 \times 4 + 3}{4} = \frac{8 + 3}{4} = \frac{11}{4} \] - Convert \( 3 \frac{5}{8} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 3 \frac{5}{8} = \frac{3 \times 8 + 5}{8} = \frac{24 + 5}{8} = \frac{29}{8} \] - Convert \( 2 \frac{1}{5} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 2 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2 \times 5 + 1}{5} = \frac{10 + 1}{5} = \frac{11}{5} \] 2. **Substitute Back into the Expression:** \[ 2 \div \frac{3}{17} \text{ of } \left(\frac{11}{4} + \frac{29}{8}\right) + \frac{2}{5} \div \frac{11}{5} + \frac{2}{9} \] 3. **Calculate the Sum Inside the Parentheses:** - Find a common denominator for \( \frac{11}{4} \) and \( \frac{29}{8} \): - The LCM of 4 and 8 is 8. - Convert \( \frac{11}{4} \) to eighths: \[ \frac{11}{4} = \frac{11 \times 2}{4 \times 2} = \frac{22}{8} \] - Now add: \[ \frac{22}{8} + \frac{29}{8} = \frac{22 + 29}{8} = \frac{51}{8} \] 4. **Calculate the First Part of the Expression:** - Now substitute back: \[ 2 \div \frac{3}{17} \text{ of } \frac{51}{8} \] - "of" means multiplication: \[ 2 \div \frac{3}{17} \times \frac{51}{8} \] - Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal: \[ 2 \times \frac{17}{3} \times \frac{51}{8} \] 5. **Calculate the Multiplication:** - First calculate \( 2 \times \frac{17}{3} = \frac{34}{3} \): \[ \frac{34}{3} \times \frac{51}{8} = \frac{34 \times 51}{3 \times 8} = \frac{1734}{24} \] 6. **Simplify \( \frac{1734}{24} \):** - Divide both numerator and denominator by 6: \[ \frac{1734 \div 6}{24 \div 6} = \frac{289}{4} \] 7. **Calculate the Second Part of the Expression:** - Now calculate \( \frac{2}{5} \div \frac{11}{5} \): \[ \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{5}{11} = \frac{2 \times 5}{5 \times 11} = \frac{2}{11} \] 8. **Combine All Parts:** - Now combine: \[ \frac{289}{4} + \frac{2}{11} + \frac{2}{9} \] - Find a common denominator for \( 4, 11, \) and \( 9 \): - The LCM is \( 396 \). - Convert each fraction: \[ \frac{289}{4} = \frac{289 \times 99}{396} = \frac{28511}{396} \] \[ \frac{2}{11} = \frac{2 \times 36}{396} = \frac{72}{396} \] \[ \frac{2}{9} = \frac{2 \times 44}{396} = \frac{88}{396} \] 9. **Add the Converted Fractions:** \[ \frac{28511 + 72 + 88}{396} = \frac{28671}{396} \] 10. **Final Simplification:** - Check if \( \frac{28671}{396} \) can be simplified further. The GCD is 3: \[ \frac{28671 \div 3}{396 \div 3} = \frac{9557}{132} \] ### Final Answer: The simplified expression is \( \frac{9557}{132} \).
