1. Problem Description
We need to solve the following expression:
2. Solution Steps
First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
Now, substitute these into the expression:
Next, we need to evaluate the expression in parentheses. The least common denominator of 5 and 2 is
1
0. $\frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3 \times 2}{5 \times 2} - \frac{1 \times 5}{2 \times 5} = \frac{6}{10} - \frac{5}{10} = \frac{6-5}{10} = \frac{1}{10}$
Substitute this result back into the expression:
Multiply the first two fractions:
Substitute this back into the expression:
Now we need to find a common denominator for the three fractions. The least common denominator of 7, 10, and 5 is
7
0. $\frac{2}{7} = \frac{2 \times 10}{7 \times 10} = \frac{20}{70}$
Now substitute these into the expression:
Simplify the fraction:
Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number:
