simplify 1/(1/15+1/10+1/30)
Let's reduce: 1115 + 110 + 130
ⓘ To add fractions, put them over the same denominator, then add the numerators. We choose 30, the least common multiple of 15 and 10. Multiplying the numerator and the denominator by the same number does not change the fraction: 115 + 110 = 1×215×2 + 1×310×3 = 1×2 + 1×315×2 = 2 + 315×2■To add fractions, put them over the same denominator, then add the numerators: 2 + 315×2 + 130 = (2 + 3)×30 + 15×215×2×30
1(2 + 3)×30 + 15×215×2×30
ⓘ Parentheses are computed first: 2 + 3 = 5■Multiplications are done before additions and subtractions: 15×2 = (10 + 5)×2 = 10×2 + 5×2 = 20 + 10 = 30
ⅰ 15×2 = (10 + 5)×2 = 10×2 + 5×2 = 20 + 10 = 30
15×30 + 3030×30
ⓘ Multiplications are done before additions and subtractions: 5×30 = 150
ⅰ 30×30 = 900
1150 + 30900
ⓘ The numerator and the denominator are computed before the division: 150 + 30 = 180
1180900
We simplify the fraction: 900180 by the common factor: 180 to get the new expression: 5
