Evaluating the Expression: ((2)/(3)+(4)/(9)) of (3)/(5)- 1(2)/(3) times 1(1)/(4)-(1)/(3)
In this article, we will evaluate the expression ((2)/(3)+(4)/(9)) of (3)/(5)- 1(2)/(3) times 1(1)/(4)-(1)/(3)
. This expression involves several operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions.
Step 1: Evaluate the Expression Inside the Parentheses
First, let's evaluate the expressions inside the parentheses:
(2)/(3) + (4)/(9)
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which is 9. So, we can rewrite the fractions as:
(6)/(9) + (4)/(9)
Now, we can add them:
(10)/(9)
So, the expression inside the parentheses is (10)/(9)
.
Step 2: Evaluate the Expression (3)/(5) - 1(2)/(3) times 1(1)/(4)
Next, let's evaluate the expression:
(3)/(5) - 1(2)/(3) times 1(1)/(4)
First, let's multiply 1(2)/(3)
and 1(1)/(4)
:
(2)/(3) × (1)/(4) = (2)/(12) = (1)/(6)
Now, let's subtract (1)/(6)
from (3)/(5)
:
(3)/(5) - (1)/(6)
To subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which is 30. So, we can rewrite the fractions as:
(18)/(30) - (5)/(30)
Now, we can subtract them:
(13)/(30)
Step 3: Multiply the Results
Finally, let's multiply the results of Steps 1 and 2:
((10)/(9)) × ((13)/(30))
To multiply these fractions, we can multiply the numerators and denominators separately:
(10 × 13) / (9 × 30) = (130) / (270)
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
(13)/(27)
Therefore, the final result of the expression ((2)/(3)+(4)/(9)) of (3)/(5)- 1(2)/(3) times 1(1)/(4)-(1)/(3)
is (13)/(27)
