Assumptions1. We are given the expression . . We need to simplify this expression following the order of operations, which is parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), addition and subtraction (from left to right). This is often abbreviated as PEMAS.
STEP 2
First, we need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.For , the improper fraction is obtained by multiplying the whole number part by the denominator of the fractional part and adding the numerator of the fractional part. This gives the numerator of the improper fraction. The denominator of the improper fraction is the same as the denominator of the fractional part.
STEP 3
Similarly, convert the other mixed numbers to improper fractions.
STEP 4
Substitute these improper fractions back into the original expression.
STEP 5
Now, perform the multiplication inside the parentheses.
STEP 6
