Simplify: 1/21 +[1/21÷{1/4-(1/5-1/30)}]
Answers
Answer:
(13/21)
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
1/21 + 1/(21 (1/4 - (1/5 - 1/30)))
Put 1/5 - 1/30 over the common denominator 30. 1/5 - 1/30 = 6/30 - 1/30:
1/21 + 1/(21 (1/4 - 6/30 - 1/30))
6/30 - 1/30 = (6 - 1)/30:
1/21 + 1/(21 (1/4 - (6 - 1)/30))
6 - 1 = 5:
1/21 + 1/(21 (1/4 - 5/30))
The gcd of 5 and 30 is 5, so 5/30 = (5×1)/(5×6) = 5/5×1/6 = 1/6:
1/21 + 1/(21 (1/4 - 1/6))
Put 1/4 - 1/6 over the common denominator 12. 1/4 - 1/6 = 3/12 - 2/12:
1/21 + 1/(21 (3/12 - 2/12))
3/12 - 2/12 = (3 - 2)/12:
1/21 + 1/(21 ((3 - 2)/12))
3 - 2 = 1:
1/21 + 1/(21 (1/12))
21 (1/12) = (21/12):
1/21 + 1/((21/12))
The gcd of 21 and 12 is 3, so 21/12 = (3×7)/(3×4) = 3/3×7/4 = 7/4:
1/21 + 1/((7/4))
((7/4))^(-1) = (1/(7/4)):
1/21 + (1/(7/4))
1/(7/4) = (4/7)^1:
1/21 + (4/7)
1/21 + (4/7) = (1/21 + 4/7):
(1/21 + 4/7)
Put 1/21 + 4/7 over the common denominator 21. 1/21 + 4/7 = 1/21 + (3×4)/21:
(1/21 + (3×4)/21)
3×4 = 12:
(1/21 + 12/21)
1/21 + 12/21 = (1 + 12)/21:
((1 + 12)/21)
1 + 12 = 13:
