195\frac{19}{5}

Step-by-step solution

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

    157=1×7+57=1271\frac{5}{7} = \frac{1 \times 7 + 5}{7} = \frac{12}{7} 213=2×3+13=732\frac{1}{3} = \frac{2 \times 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{7}{3} 137=1×7+37=1071\frac{3}{7} = \frac{1 \times 7 + 3}{7} = \frac{10}{7}

    Substitute these into the expression:

    34+127÷47 of 73(107−58)×23\frac{\frac{3}{4} + \frac{12}{7} \div \frac{4}{7} \text{ of } \frac{7}{3}}{\left(\frac{10}{7} - \frac{5}{8}\right) \times \frac{2}{3}}
  2. Evaluate the numerator.

    First, calculate "of" (multiplication):

    47 of 73=47×73=4×77×3=2821=43\frac{4}{7} \text{ of } \frac{7}{3} = \frac{4}{7} \times \frac{7}{3} = \frac{4 \times 7}{7 \times 3} = \frac{28}{21} = \frac{4}{3}

    Next, perform the division:

    127÷43=127×34=3628=97\frac{12}{7} \div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{12}{7} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{36}{28} = \frac{9}{7}

    Finally, perform the addition:

    34+97=3×74×7+9×47×4=2128+3628=21+3628=5728\frac{3}{4} + \frac{9}{7} = \frac{3 \times 7}{4 \times 7} + \frac{9 \times 4}{7 \times 4} = \frac{21}{28} + \frac{36}{28} = \frac{21 + 36}{28} = \frac{57}{28}

    So, the numerator is 5728\frac{57}{28}.

  3. Evaluate the denominator.

    First, perform the subtraction inside the parentheses:

    107−58\frac{10}{7} - \frac{5}{8}

    Find a common denominator, which is 7×8=567 \times 8 = 56:

    10×87×8−5×78×7=8056−3556=80−3556=4556\frac{10 \times 8}{7 \times 8} - \frac{5 \times 7}{8 \times 7} = \frac{80}{56} - \frac{35}{56} = \frac{80 - 35}{56} = \frac{45}{56}

    Next, perform the multiplication:

    4556×23=45×256×3=90168\frac{45}{56} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{45 \times 2}{56 \times 3} = \frac{90}{168}

    Simplify the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 6:

    90÷6168÷6=1528\frac{90 \div 6}{168 \div 6} = \frac{15}{28}

    So, the denominator is 1528\frac{15}{28}.

  4. Divide the numerator by the denominator.

    57281528=5728×2815\frac{\frac{57}{28}}{\frac{15}{28}} = \frac{57}{28} \times \frac{28}{15}

    Cancel out the common factor of 28:

    =5715= \frac{57}{15}

    Simplify the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:

    57÷315÷3=195\frac{57 \div 3}{15 \div 3} = \frac{19}{5}

    The final answer is 195\frac{19}{5}.
