Answer:


1 (36)/(84)

simplified :


1 (3)/(7)

Explanation:

first, we turn them into improper fractions


3 ( + 3)/( * 4) / 2 ( + 5)/( * 8)

First, we multiply 3×4=12+3=15 the demoninator will remain the same.

2×8=16+5=21, denominator remains the same.


(15)/(4) / (21)/(8)

when it comes to division with fractions, you flip the right(direction)fraction then multiply.


(15)/(4) * (8)/(21)

15×8=120

4×21=84


(120)/(84)

then turn in back into a mixed fraction.


1 (36)/(84)

demoninator remains the same, how many times 84 goes into 120, which is once(whole number) and how many is left over (numberator)
