5203243\frac{520}{3243}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps

Here's the step-by-step solution to simplify the expression:

The problem is to simplify 823÷(2325 OF 314−22)8\frac{2}{3} \div \left(23\frac{2}{5} \text{ OF } 3\frac{1}{4} - 22\right).
We will follow the BODMAS/PEMDAS order of operations.

  1. Convert all mixed numbers to improper fractions.

    823=8×3+23=24+23=2638\frac{2}{3} = \frac{8 \times 3 + 2}{3} = \frac{24 + 2}{3} = \frac{26}{3} 2325=23×5+25=115+25=117523\frac{2}{5} = \frac{23 \times 5 + 2}{5} = \frac{115 + 2}{5} = \frac{117}{5} 314=3×4+14=12+14=1343\frac{1}{4} = \frac{3 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{12 + 1}{4} = \frac{13}{4}

    The expression becomes:

    263÷(1175 OF 134−22)\frac{26}{3} \div \left(\frac{117}{5} \text{ OF } \frac{13}{4} - 22\right)
  2. Perform the "OF" operation, which means multiplication, inside the parenthesis.

    1175×134=117×135×4=152120\frac{117}{5} \times \frac{13}{4} = \frac{117 \times 13}{5 \times 4} = \frac{1521}{20}

    The expression now is:

    263÷(152120−22)\frac{26}{3} \div \left(\frac{1521}{20} - 22\right)
  3. Perform the subtraction inside the parenthesis.

    To subtract 22 from 152120\frac{1521}{20}, we convert 22 to a fraction with a denominator of 20.

    22=22×2020=4402022 = \frac{22 \times 20}{20} = \frac{440}{20}

    Now subtract:

    152120−44020=1521−44020=108120\frac{1521}{20} - \frac{440}{20} = \frac{1521 - 440}{20} = \frac{1081}{20}

    The expression now is:

    263÷108120\frac{26}{3} \div \frac{1081}{20}
  4. Perform the division.

    To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal.

    263÷108120=263×201081\frac{26}{3} \div \frac{1081}{20} = \frac{26}{3} \times \frac{20}{1081}

    Multiply the numerators and the denominators:

    26×203×1081=5203243\frac{26 \times 20}{3 \times 1081} = \frac{520}{3243}

    The fraction 5203243\frac{520}{3243} cannot be simplified further as there are no common factors between the numerator and the denominator (520=23×5×13520 = 2^3 \times 5 \times 13 and 3243=3×23×473243 = 3 \times 23 \times 47).
