118/15 or 7.8666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666... decimal
Explanation:
Simplify the following:
(1 + 1/9) (4 + 1/2) + 3 + 1/5 - 1/3
Put 1 + 1/9 over the common denominator 9. 1 + 1/9 = 9/9 + 1/9:
9/9 + 1/9 (4 + 1/2) + 3 + 1/5 - 1/3
9/9 + 1/9 = (9 + 1)/9:
(9 + 1)/9 (4 + 1/2) + 3 + 1/5 - 1/3
9 + 1 = 10:
10/9 (4 + 1/2) + 3 + 1/5 - 1/3
Put 4 + 1/2 over the common denominator 2. 4 + 1/2 = (2×4)/2 + 1/2:
10/9 (2×4)/2 + 1/2 + 3 + 1/5 - 1/3
2×4 = 8:
10/9 (8/2 + 1/2) + 3 + 1/5 - 1/3
8/2 + 1/2 = (8 + 1)/2:
10/9 (8 + 1)/2 + 3 + 1/5 - 1/3
8 + 1 = 9:
10/9×9/2 + 3 + 1/5 - 1/3
10/9×9/2 = (10×9)/(9×2):
(10×9)/(9×2) + 3 + 1/5 - 1/3
(10×9)/(9×2) = 9/9×10/2 = 10/2:
10/2 + 3 + 1/5 - 1/3
The gcd of 10 and 2 is 2, so 10/2 = (2×5)/(2×1) = 2/2×5 = 5:
5 + 3 + 1/5 - 1/3
Put 5 + 3 + 1/5 - 1/3 over the common denominator 15. 5 + 3 + 1/5 - 1/3 = (15×5)/15 + (15×3)/15 + 3/15 - 5/15:
(15×5)/15 + (15×3)/15 + 3/15 - 5/15
15×5 = 75:
75/15 + (15×3)/15 + 3/15 - 5/15
15×3 = 45:
75/15 + 45/15 + 3/15 - 5/15
75/15 + 45/15 + 3/15 - 5/15 = (75 + 45 + 3 - 5)/15:
(75 + 45 + 3 - 5)/15
