4948\frac{49}{48}

Step-by-step solution

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

    3310=3×10+310=33103\frac{3}{10} = \frac{3 \times 10 + 3}{10} = \frac{33}{10} 123=1×3+23=531\frac{2}{3} = \frac{1 \times 3 + 2}{3} = \frac{5}{3} 112=1×2+12=321\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}

    The expression becomes:

    3310−5332+110\frac{\frac{33}{10} - \frac{5}{3}}{\frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{10}}
  2. Simplify the numerator.

    To subtract 53\frac{5}{3} from 3310\frac{33}{10}, find a common denominator, which is 30.

    3310−53=33×310×3−5×103×10=9930−5030=99−5030=4930\frac{33}{10} - \frac{5}{3} = \frac{33 \times 3}{10 \times 3} - \frac{5 \times 10}{3 \times 10} = \frac{99}{30} - \frac{50}{30} = \frac{99 - 50}{30} = \frac{49}{30}
  3. Simplify the denominator.

    To add 32\frac{3}{2} and 110\frac{1}{10}, find a common denominator, which is 10.

    32+110=3×52×5+110=1510+110=15+110=1610\frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{3 \times 5}{2 \times 5} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{15}{10} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{15 + 1}{10} = \frac{16}{10}

    This fraction can be simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by 2:

    1610=85\frac{16}{10} = \frac{8}{5}
  4. Divide the simplified numerator by the simplified denominator.

    493085\frac{\frac{49}{30}}{\frac{8}{5}}

    To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal:

    4930×58\frac{49}{30} \times \frac{5}{8}

    Multiply the numerators and the denominators:

    49×530×8\frac{49 \times 5}{30 \times 8}

    Simplify by canceling out common factors. Here, 5 divides into 30 six times:

    49×16×8=4948\frac{49 \times 1}{6 \times 8} = \frac{49}{48}

    The simplified expression is 4948\frac{49}{48}.
