Question : 118 of 200

Marks: +1, -0

\frac{5 \frac{2}{3}-3 \frac{3}{5}}{1 \frac{1}{5}}

Solution:

Concept:

Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions and simplify using division of fractions.

Explanation:

First, change each mixed number to an improper fraction:

5\frac{2}{3} = \frac{17}{3}

3\frac{3}{5} = \frac{18}{5}

1\frac{1}{5} = \frac{6}{5}

Now compute the numerator:

\frac{17}{3} - \frac{18}{5} = \frac{85-54}{15} = \frac{31}{15}

Divide by the denominator:

\frac{31}{15} \div \frac{6}{5} = \frac{31}{15} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{31}{18}

Convert to decimal:

31 \div 18 = 1.7222...

which rounds to

1.72

Answer:

1.72
