Math Problem Statement

Calculate the fractions as shown in the provided math problem sheet.

Solution

I see you've uploaded a math problem sheet. I'll transcribe and solve each problem step-by-step below:


Problems:

3a) 6757\frac{6}{7} - \frac{5}{7}

Subtract the numerators (since the denominators are the same): 657=17\frac{6 - 5}{7} = \frac{1}{7} Answer: 17\frac{1}{7}


3b) 23+14\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{4}

Find the least common denominator (LCD) of 3 and 4, which is 12. Rewrite the fractions: 23=812,14=312\frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{12}, \quad \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{12} Add the fractions: 812+312=1112\frac{8}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{11}{12} Answer: 1112\frac{11}{12}


3c) 37×107\frac{3}{7} \times \frac{10}{7}

Multiply the numerators and denominators: 31077=3049\frac{3 \cdot 10}{7 \cdot 7} = \frac{30}{49} Answer: 3049\frac{30}{49}


3d) 815÷9\frac{8}{15} \div 9

Rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal of 99: 815÷9=815×19=8135\frac{8}{15} \div 9 = \frac{8}{15} \times \frac{1}{9} = \frac{8}{135} Answer: 8135\frac{8}{135}


3e) 34×5\frac{3}{4} \times 5

Rewrite 55 as 51\frac{5}{1} and multiply: 34×51=3541=154\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{5}{1} = \frac{3 \cdot 5}{4 \cdot 1} = \frac{15}{4} Convert to a mixed number if needed: 154=334\frac{15}{4} = 3 \frac{3}{4} Answer: 3343 \frac{3}{4} or 154\frac{15}{4}


3f) 95÷115\frac{9}{5} \div \frac{11}{5}

Rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal of 115\frac{11}{5}: 95÷115=95×511=95511\frac{9}{5} \div \frac{11}{5} = \frac{9}{5} \times \frac{5}{11} = \frac{9 \cdot 5}{5 \cdot 11} Cancel the 55 in the numerator and denominator: 911\frac{9}{11} Answer: 911\frac{9}{11}


3g) 59÷43\frac{5}{9} \div \frac{4}{3}

Rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal of 43\frac{4}{3}: 59÷43=59×34=5394=1536\frac{5}{9} \div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{5}{9} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{5 \cdot 3}{9 \cdot 4} = \frac{15}{36} Simplify: 1536=512\frac{15}{36} = \frac{5}{12} Answer: 512\frac{5}{12}


Summary of Answers:

  • a) 17\frac{1}{7}
  • b) 1112\frac{11}{12}
  • c) 3049\frac{30}{49}
  • d) 8135\frac{8}{135}
  • e) 3343 \frac{3}{4} or 154\frac{15}{4}
  • f) 911\frac{9}{11}
  • g) 512\frac{5}{12}
