Solve 5-1/4+1{3-frac{1/2}}

$$\frac { 5 - 1 } { \frac { 4 + 1 } { 3 - \frac { 1 } { 2 } } }$$

Evaluate

$$2$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 1 from 5 to get 4.

$$\frac{4}{\frac{4+1}{3-\frac{1}{2}}}$$

Add 4 and 1 to get 5.

$$\frac{4}{\frac{5}{3-\frac{1}{2}}}$$

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{6}{2}.

$$\frac{4}{\frac{5}{\frac{6}{2}-\frac{1}{2}}}$$

Since \frac{6}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{4}{\frac{5}{\frac{6-1}{2}}}$$

Subtract 1 from 6 to get 5.

$$\frac{4}{\frac{5}{\frac{5}{2}}}$$

Divide 5 by \frac{5}{2} by multiplying 5 by the reciprocal of \frac{5}{2}.

$$\frac{4}{5\times \frac{2}{5}}$$

Cancel out 5 and 5.

$$\frac{4}{2}$$

Divide 4 by 2 to get 2.

$$2$$

Factor

$$2$$
