Answer

1415\frac{14}{15}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions inside the parentheses.

    315=3×5+15=1653\frac{1}{5} = \frac{3 \times 5 + 1}{5} = \frac{16}{5} 113=1×3+13=431\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{4}{3}
  2. Subtract the fractions inside the parentheses.

    Find a common denominator for 5 and 3, which is 15.

    165−43=16×35×3−4×53×5=4815−2015=48−2015=2815\frac{16}{5} - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{16 \times 3}{5 \times 3} - \frac{4 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = \frac{48}{15} - \frac{20}{15} = \frac{48 - 20}{15} = \frac{28}{15}
  3. Perform the "of" operation, which means multiplication.

    2815 of 14=2815×14\frac{28}{15} \text{ of } \frac{1}{4} = \frac{28}{15} \times \frac{1}{4}

    Multiply the numerators and the denominators.

    28×115×4=2860\frac{28 \times 1}{15 \times 4} = \frac{28}{60}

    Simplify the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.

    28÷460÷4=715\frac{28 \div 4}{60 \div 4} = \frac{7}{15}
  4. Perform the division.

    715÷12\frac{7}{15} \div \frac{1}{2}

    To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal.

    715×21=7×215×1=1415\frac{7}{15} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{7 \times 2}{15 \times 1} = \frac{14}{15}

    The final answer is 1415\frac{14}{15}.
