Answer:
3/2
Explanation:
Simplify the following:
((4 + 1/5)×5)/14
((4 + 1/5)×5)/14 = ((4 + 1/5)×5)/14:
((4 + 1/5)×5)/14
Put 4 + 1/5 over the common denominator 5. 4 + 1/5 = (5×4)/5 + 1/5:
(((5×4)/5 + 1/5) 5)/14
5×4 = 20:
((20/5 + 1/5)×5)/14
20/5 + 1/5 = (20 + 1)/5:
(((20 + 1)/5)×5)/14
20 + 1 = 21:
(21/5×5)/14
21/5×5 = (21×5)/5:
((21×5)/5)/14
((21×5)/5)/14 = (21×5)/(5×14):
(21×5)/(5×14)
(21×5)/(5×14) = 5/5×21/14 = 21/14:
21/14
The gcd of 21 and 14 is 7, so 21/14 = (7×3)/(7×2) = 7/7×3/2 = 3/2:
