Answer» 3 1/3 ÷ 5/3 - 1/10 of 2 ½ + 7/4 = (3 × 3 + 1)/3 ÷ 5/3 – 1/10 of (2 × 2 + 1)/2 + 7/4 = 10/3 ÷ 5/3 - 1/10 of 5/2 + 7/4 [‘of’ simplified] = 10/3 × 3/5 – ½ × ½ + 7/4 [‘÷’ simplified] = 2/1 - ¼ + 7/4 [‘×’ simplified] = (2 × 4)/1 × 4) - (1 × 1)/4 × 1) + (7 × 1)/4 × 1) = 8/4 - ¼ + 7/4 [Now the DENOMINATORS are same of all the fractions] = (8 – 1 + 7)/4 [‘+’ and ‘-‘ simplified] = 14/4 = 7/2 |
