Answer:

#b


\displaystyle{ \pmb{ \pink{3 (1)/(5) * 3 (1)/(2) / 2 (2)/(5) }}}


\frak{SOLUTION:}


\displaystyle \frak{Here,}


\displaystyle{3 (1)/(5) * 3 (1)/(2) / 2 (2)/(5) }

  • Convert mixed fractions into improper fractions:


= \displaystyle{ (16)/(5) * (7)/(2) / (12)/(5) }


=\displaystyle{ (16)/(5) * (7)/(2) * (5)/(12) \frak{(Performing division)} }


\displaystyle{ = \frac{ \cancel{16} \: {}^(2) * 7 * \cancel5}{ \cancel5 * \cancel 2 * 12} }


\displaystyle{ = (8 * 7)/(12) }


=\displaystyle{} (56)/(12)


\displaystyle{ = ( \cancel2 * \cancel2 * 2 * 7)/( \cancel2 * \cancel 2 * 3) }


\displaystyle{ = (14)/(3) \frak {\: or} \: 4 (2)/(3) }

#c


\displaystyle{\pmb{ \pink{2 (2)/(3) / (1)/(2) \: of \: 3 (1)/(5) }}}


\displaystyle{ \frak{SOLUTION:}}


\displaystyle \frak{Here,}


\displaystyle{2 (2)/(3) / (1)/(2) \: of \: 3 (1)/(5) }


\displaystyle{ = (8)/(3) / \left( (1)/(2) * (16)/(5) \right)\frak{(Performing


= \displaystyle{ (8)/(3) / \left( \frac{1 * \cancel{16} \: {}^(8) }{ \cancel2 * 5} \right) }


\displaystyle{ = (8)/(3) / (8)/(5) }


\displaystyle{ = (8)/(3) * (5)/(8) \frak{(Performing \: division)} }


\displaystyle{ = ( \cancel8)/(3) * (5)/( \cancel8) }


= \displaystyle{ (5)/(3) \frak{ \: or \: }1 (2)/(3) }
