to find:

simplify $\frac{3}{5} of \frac{1}{24}+\frac{5}{8}$

Solution:

we have to simplify

$\frac{3}{5} of \frac{1}{24}+\frac{5}{8}$

3/5 of 1/24 means $\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{24} +\frac{5}{8}$

$=\frac{3}{5} \times\frac{8+120}{24\times8} \\\\\\=\frac{3}{5} \times\frac{128}{192} \\\\=\frac{3}{5} \times\frac{32}{23} \\\\=\frac{3\times32}{5\times23} \\\\=\frac{96}{115}$
