Math Problem Statement

Perform the operations for the given fractions in tasks (a) to (f).

Solution

Let’s break down and solve the mathematical tasks step by step. I will first solve part (a) and proceed similarly for the others. Here is the solution process:


(a) Solve:

1025+1317315\frac{10}{25} + \frac{13}{17} - \frac{3}{15}

  1. Simplify fractions:

    • 1025=25\frac{10}{25} = \frac{2}{5}
    • The others remain as 1317\frac{13}{17} and 315=15\frac{3}{15} = \frac{1}{5}.
  2. Rewrite the expression: 25+131715\frac{2}{5} + \frac{13}{17} - \frac{1}{5}

  3. Combine the fractions:

    • For 2515=15\frac{2}{5} - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{5}, so the expression becomes: 15+1317\frac{1}{5} + \frac{13}{17}
  4. Find the least common denominator (LCD) of 5 and 17:

    • LCD = 85.
  5. Rewrite fractions:

    • 15=1785\frac{1}{5} = \frac{17}{85}
    • 1317=6585\frac{13}{17} = \frac{65}{85}.
  6. Add the fractions: 1785+6585=8285\frac{17}{85} + \frac{65}{85} = \frac{82}{85}

Final Answer for (a):
8285\frac{82}{85}
