Solve 15/2*1.7-3=10/4*1.1*5

$$\frac { 15 } { 2 \cdot 1.7 - 3 } = \frac { 10 } { 4 \cdot 1.1 \cdot 5 }$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 1.7 to get 3.4.

$$\frac{15}{3.4-3}=\frac{10}{4\times 1.1\times 5}$$

Subtract 3 from 3.4 to get 0.4.

$$\frac{15}{0.4}=\frac{10}{4\times 1.1\times 5}$$

Expand \frac{15}{0.4} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$\frac{150}{4}=\frac{10}{4\times 1.1\times 5}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{150}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{75}{2}=\frac{10}{4\times 1.1\times 5}$$

Multiply 4 and 1.1 to get 4.4.

$$\frac{75}{2}=\frac{10}{4.4\times 5}$$

Multiply 4.4 and 5 to get 22.

$$\frac{75}{2}=\frac{10}{22}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{10}{22} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{75}{2}=\frac{5}{11}$$

Least common multiple of 2 and 11 is 22. Convert \frac{75}{2} and \frac{5}{11} to fractions with denominator 22.

$$\frac{825}{22}=\frac{10}{22}$$

Compare \frac{825}{22} and \frac{10}{22}.

$$\text{false}$$
