Answer:
[tex]\frac{17}{24}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
4 - 1 [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] = 2 [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
Step 2 :
1 ÷ 2 [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] = 1 × [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex]
Step 3:
[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8+5}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{13}{12}[/tex] = 1 [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
Step 4:
3 ÷ [tex]\frac{13}{12}[/tex] = 3 × [tex]\frac{12}{13}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{36}{13}[/tex] = 2 [tex]\frac{10}{13}[/tex]
Step 5:
1 - 2 [tex]\frac{10}{13}[/tex] = - 1 [tex]\frac{10}{13}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{23}{13}[/tex]
Step 6:
1 - [tex]\frac{16}{39}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{23}{39}[/tex]
Step 7:
[tex]\frac{23}{39}[/tex] ÷ ( - [tex]\frac{23}{13}[/tex] ) = - [tex]\frac{23}{39}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{13}{23}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step 8:
[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] - ( - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ) = [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9+8}{24}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{17}{24}[/tex]
