Answer

910\frac{9}{10}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Simplify the expression inside the parentheses.

    To add the fractions 130\frac{1}{30} and 115\frac{1}{15}, find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 30 and 15 is 30.

    130+115=130+1×215×2=130+230\frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{15} = \frac{1}{30} + \frac{1 \times 2}{15 \times 2} = \frac{1}{30} + \frac{2}{30}
  2. Add the fractions.

    130+230=1+230=330\frac{1}{30} + \frac{2}{30} = \frac{1+2}{30} = \frac{3}{30}
  3. Simplify the resulting fraction.

    330=3÷330÷3=110\frac{3}{30} = \frac{3 \div 3}{30 \div 3} = \frac{1}{10}
  4. Substitute the simplified fraction back into the original expression and subtract from 1.

    1−1101 - \frac{1}{10}

    To subtract, express 1 as a fraction with a denominator of 10:

    1010−110=10−110=910\frac{10}{10} - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{10-1}{10} = \frac{9}{10}

    The final answer is 910\frac{9}{10}.
