Answer & Step-by-step explanation:
(2/5 + 3/4) * [ 3 - (1/4 : 1/5)]
When you see this sign, : , it usually means to divide the numbers because they represent some form of a ratio. So, we will divide 1/4 by 1/5.
First, do all of the operations in the parentheses ().
(2/5 + 3/4)*[ 3 - (1/4 : 1/5)]
(23/20) * [ 3 - (5/4)]
(23/20) * (7/4)
Now, we multiply 23/20 by 7/4.
(23/20) * (7/4)
161/80
This number can not be simplified so we will keep it as it is.
So, the answer to this expression is 161/80
