Answer

27122\frac{7}{12}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Convert all mixed numbers to improper fractions.

    For the numerator:

    414=4×4+14=1744\frac{1}{4} = \frac{4 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{17}{4} 312=3×2+12=723\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{7}{2} 318=3×8+18=2583\frac{1}{8} = \frac{3 \times 8 + 1}{8} = \frac{25}{8}

    For the denominator:

    325=3×5+25=1753\frac{2}{5} = \frac{3 \times 5 + 2}{5} = \frac{17}{5} 114=1×4+14=541\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} 256=2×6+56=1762\frac{5}{6} = \frac{2 \times 6 + 5}{6} = \frac{17}{6}
  2. Evaluate the numerator.

    174−72+258\frac{17}{4} - \frac{7}{2} + \frac{25}{8}

    Find a common denominator, which is 8.

    17×24×2−7×42×4+258=348−288+258\frac{17 \times 2}{4 \times 2} - \frac{7 \times 4}{2 \times 4} + \frac{25}{8} = \frac{34}{8} - \frac{28}{8} + \frac{25}{8} 34−28+258=6+258=318\frac{34 - 28 + 25}{8} = \frac{6 + 25}{8} = \frac{31}{8}
  3. Evaluate the denominator.

    The expression is 325 of 114÷2563\frac{2}{5} \text{ of } 1\frac{1}{4} \div 2\frac{5}{6}. "of" means multiplication.

    175×54÷176\frac{17}{5} \times \frac{5}{4} \div \frac{17}{6}

    First, perform the multiplication:

    175×54=17×55×4=174\frac{17}{5} \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{17 \times 5}{5 \times 4} = \frac{17}{4}

    Next, perform the division. To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal:

    174÷176=174×617\frac{17}{4} \div \frac{17}{6} = \frac{17}{4} \times \frac{6}{17} 17×64×17=64=32\frac{17 \times 6}{4 \times 17} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}
  4. Divide the numerator by the denominator.

    31832=318÷32\frac{\frac{31}{8}}{\frac{3}{2}} = \frac{31}{8} \div \frac{3}{2}

    Multiply by the reciprocal of the denominator:

    318×23=31×28×3\frac{31}{8} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{31 \times 2}{8 \times 3}

    Simplify by canceling out a factor of 2:

    31×14×3=3112\frac{31 \times 1}{4 \times 3} = \frac{31}{12}

    Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number:

    3112=2712\frac{31}{12} = 2\frac{7}{12}

    The final answer is 27122\frac{7}{12}.
