Answer 2

Given : The given mathematical expression is

$\frac{3}{5} + \frac{3}{8} \div \frac{6}{4}$

To find : The simplification of the given mathematical expression.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

To solve this problem, we have to know about BODMAS principle.

What is BODMAS principle?

• BODMAS is basically an acronym for remembering the order of mathematical operations.
• B = Bracket , O = Order , D = Division , M = Multiplication , A = Addition , S = Subtraction.

We will also follow the BODMAS rule here.

In this case, the given operations are addition and division. So, according to BODMAS sequence, we will do division before addition.

So,

$= \frac{3}{5} + \frac{3}{8} \div \frac{6}{4}$

$= \frac{3}{5} + \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{4}{6}$

$= \frac{3}{5} + \frac{1}{4}$

$= \frac{12 + 5}{20}$

$= \frac{17}{20}$

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the result of the simplification will be ¹⁷/₂₀
