Simplify the expression.
Answer to Problem 8WE
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculations:
In order to solve this expression, we need to convert each mixed fraction into improper fractions
So,
Now, we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of all fractions.
We have 8,5,8,5 in denominators.
So, we need to find the Least common multiple of 8 and 5.
Least common multiple of
Therefore, Least Common Denominator (LCD) is 40.
Now, we need to convert each denominator as 40.
Adding numerators by taking common denominator 40, we get
On dividing 2480 by 40, we get 62.
Therefore,
