Math Problem Statement

1/2 + 3/5 / 1/5 + 3/4

Solution

Let's solve the given expression step by step:

Given expression:

12+3515+34\frac{1}{2} + \frac{\frac{3}{5}}{\frac{1}{5}} + \frac{3}{4}

First, let's simplify 3515\frac{\frac{3}{5}}{\frac{1}{5}}:

35÷15=35×51=3\frac{3}{5} \div \frac{1}{5} = \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{5}{1} = 3

Now, substitute this back into the original expression:

12+3+34\frac{1}{2} + 3 + \frac{3}{4}

Next, let's find a common denominator for 12\frac{1}{2} and 34\frac{3}{4}:

The common denominator is 4.

12=24\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4}

So the expression becomes:

24+3+34\frac{2}{4} + 3 + \frac{3}{4}

Combine the fractions:

24+34=54\frac{2}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{5}{4}

Now add 3 to the sum:

54+3=54+124=174\frac{5}{4} + 3 = \frac{5}{4} + \frac{12}{4} = \frac{17}{4}

Thus, the final simplified form of the expression is:

174\frac{17}{4}
