Math Problem Statement

30 1/4 - 14 + 20 : 3 1/5

Solution

Let's solve the expression step by step:

Expression:
301414+20÷31530 \frac{1}{4} - 14 + 20 \div 3 \frac{1}{5}

Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions

  • 3014=121430 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{121}{4}
  • 315=1653 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{16}{5}

Step 2: Perform the division

We now have: 301414+20÷16530 \frac{1}{4} - 14 + 20 \div \frac{16}{5} Dividing 20 by 165\frac{16}{5} is the same as multiplying 20 by 516\frac{5}{16}: 20×516=10016=25420 \times \frac{5}{16} = \frac{100}{16} = \frac{25}{4}

Step 3: Substitute the result back into the expression

Now the expression is: 121414+254\frac{121}{4} - 14 + \frac{25}{4}

Step 4: Combine the fractions

First, combine the fractions 1214\frac{121}{4} and 254\frac{25}{4}: 121+254=1464=3612\frac{121 + 25}{4} = \frac{146}{4} = 36 \frac{1}{2}

Step 5: Subtract 14 from 361236 \frac{1}{2}:

361214=221236 \frac{1}{2} - 14 = 22 \frac{1}{2}

So, the final result is: 221222 \frac{1}{2}
