Solution Steps

Divide 32 by 4 to get 8.

$$8=\frac{5}{\frac{15\times 8+3}{8}}$$

Divide 5 by \frac{15\times 8+3}{8} by multiplying 5 by the reciprocal of \frac{15\times 8+3}{8}.

$$8=\frac{5\times 8}{15\times 8+3}$$

Multiply 5 and 8 to get 40.

$$8=\frac{40}{15\times 8+3}$$

Multiply 15 and 8 to get 120.

$$8=\frac{40}{120+3}$$

Add 120 and 3 to get 123.

$$8=\frac{40}{123}$$

Convert 8 to fraction \frac{984}{123}.

$$\frac{984}{123}=\frac{40}{123}$$

Compare \frac{984}{123} and \frac{40}{123}.

$$\text{false}$$
