Simplify the following expression:

[tex]\[ \left[\frac{4}{5} - \frac{2}{3}\left(\frac{4}{5} + \frac{1}{2}\right) \div \frac{1}{5}\right] = \][/tex]



Answer :

Alright, let's solve the given expression step-by-step to understand how we arrive at the correct answer.

The expression we want to solve is:

[tex]\[ \left[\frac{4}{5}-\frac{2}{3}\left(\frac{4}{5}+\frac{1}{2}\right) \div \frac{1}{5}\right]. \][/tex]

### Step 1: Calculate the addition inside the parentheses
First, we need to add the fractions inside the parentheses:

[tex]\[ \frac{4}{5} + \frac{1}{2}. \][/tex]

To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 2 is 10. Converting both fractions to have a denominator of 10:

[tex]\[ \frac{4}{5} = \frac{4 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \frac{8}{10}, \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 5}{2 \times 5} = \frac{5}{10}. \][/tex]

Add the two fractions:

[tex]\[ \frac{8}{10} + \frac{5}{10} = \frac{13}{10}. \][/tex]

### Step 2: Compute the multiplication inside the parentheses
Next, we need to multiply [tex]\(\frac{2}{3}\)[/tex] by [tex]\(\frac{13}{10}\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{13}{10} = \frac{2 \times 13}{3 \times 10} = \frac{26}{30} = \frac{13}{15}. \][/tex]

### Step 3: Perform the division inside the expression
We now need to divide [tex]\(\frac{13}{15}\)[/tex] by [tex]\(\frac{1}{5}\)[/tex]. Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:

[tex]\[ \frac{13}{15} \div \frac{1}{5} = \frac{13}{15} \times \frac{5}{1} = \frac{13 \times 5}{15 \times 1} = \frac{65}{15} = \frac{13}{3}. \][/tex]

### Step 4: Subtract from [tex]\(\frac{4}{5}\)[/tex]
Finally, we subtract [tex]\(\frac{13}{3}\)[/tex] from [tex]\(\frac{4}{5}\)[/tex]:

We need a common denominator to perform the subtraction. The least common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15. Converting both fractions to have a denominator of 15:

[tex]\[ \frac{4}{5} = \frac{4 \times 3}{5 \times 3} = \frac{12}{15}, \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \frac{13}{3} = \frac{13 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = \frac{65}{15}. \][/tex]

Subtract the two fractions:

[tex]\[ \frac{12}{15} - \frac{65}{15} = \frac{12 - 65}{15} = \frac{-53}{15}. \][/tex]

This simplifies to:

[tex]\[ -3.533333333333333. \][/tex]

Thus, the final result of the given expression is:

[tex]\[ \boxed{-3.533333333333333}. \][/tex]
