EXAMPLE: Turning 4/3 into an improper fraction
In order to turn an improper fraction into a mixed fraction, you need to find the closest number to multiply the denominator by to get the numerator (ex: 3 times 1 is the closest number to 4). Then you would subtract that number after it was multiplied (in this case 1x3= 3) from the original numerator (so 4-3 = 1.) The answer for this question is 1 and 1/3.
Another example: 15/4 is 3 and 3/4 as a mixed number because 15 divided by 4 is closest to 3 (3x4 is 12 and 3x5 is 15, which is too large) with a remainder of 3. The closest multiple is the whole number and the remainder is the new numerator.
Hope this helps! I'm sorry if it's confusing-- it's easier to explain with paper and pencil :)

Answer:

The expression simplifies to $\frac{4(x+2)}{5(x-1)}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression

$\frac{2(x+3)}{x(x-1)} *\frac{4x(x+2)}{10(x+3)}$

can be rearranged and written as

$\frac{8x(x+3)(x+2)}{10x(x-1)(x+3)}.$

In this form the $(x+3)$ terms in the numerator and in the denominator cancel to give

$\frac{8x(x+2)}{10x(x-1)}.$

The $x's$ are present both in the numerator and in the denominator, so they also cancel, and the fraction $\frac{8}{10}$ simplifies to $\frac{4}{5}$ , so finally our expression becomes:
