The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \(\frac{2}{5} \div \frac{3}{10} \text{ of } \frac{4}{9} - \frac{4}{5} \times 1 \frac{1}{9} \div \frac{8}{15} - \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{2}\), we will follow the order of operations (BODMAS/BIDMAS). ### Step 1: Rewrite the Mixed Number Convert the mixed number \(1 \frac{1}{9}\) into an improper fraction: \[ 1 \frac{1}{9} = 1 + \frac{1}{9} = \frac{9}{9} + \frac{1}{9} = \frac{10}{9} \] Now, the expression becomes: \[ \frac{2}{5} \div \frac{3}{10} \text{ of } \frac{4}{9} - \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{10}{9} \div \frac{8}{15} - \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 2: Solve the "of" (Multiplication) The term "of" means multiplication. Therefore, we calculate: \[ \frac{2}{5} \div \frac{3}{10} \text{ of } \frac{4}{9} = \frac{2}{5} \div \frac{3}{10} \times \frac{4}{9} \] First, solve \(\frac{2}{5} \div \frac{3}{10}\): \[ \frac{2}{5} \div \frac{3}{10} = \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{10}{3} = \frac{2 \times 10}{5 \times 3} = \frac{20}{15} = \frac{4}{3} \] Now, multiply by \(\frac{4}{9}\): \[ \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{4}{9} = \frac{16}{27} \] ### Step 3: Solve the Division and Multiplication Now we need to solve the next part: \[ -\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{10}{9} \div \frac{8}{15} \] First, calculate \(\frac{10}{9} \div \frac{8}{15}\): \[ \frac{10}{9} \div \frac{8}{15} = \frac{10}{9} \times \frac{15}{8} = \frac{10 \times 15}{9 \times 8} = \frac{150}{72} = \frac{25}{12} \] Now, multiply by \(-\frac{4}{5}\): \[ -\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{25}{12} = -\frac{100}{60} = -\frac{5}{3} \] ### Step 4: Solve the Remaining Terms Next, we calculate: \[ -\frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{2} \] First, calculate \(\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{2}\): \[ \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{4} \times 2 = \frac{3 \times 2}{4} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2} \] Now, substitute this back into the expression: \[ -\frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{2} \] Convert \(\frac{3}{2}\) to have a common denominator of 4: \[ \frac{3}{2} = \frac{6}{4} \] So, \[ -\frac{3}{4} + \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \] ### Step 5: Combine All Parts Now, we combine all parts: \[ \frac{16}{27} - \frac{5}{3} + \frac{3}{4} \] Convert \(-\frac{5}{3}\) and \(\frac{3}{4}\) to have a common denominator of 108: \[ -\frac{5}{3} = -\frac{180}{108}, \quad \frac{3}{4} = \frac{81}{108} \] Now, convert \(\frac{16}{27}\): \[ \frac{16}{27} = \frac{64}{108} \] Now combine: \[ \frac{64}{108} - \frac{180}{108} + \frac{81}{108} = \frac{64 - 180 + 81}{108} = \frac{-35}{108} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of the expression is: \[ \frac{25}{12} \]
