Q. Evaluate and simplify the following complex fraction.76−2−5=□
Simplify Numerator: First, let's simplify the numerator and the denominator separately. The numerator is (−5)/(−2), which simplifies to 5/2 because a negative divided by a negative is a positive.
Simplify Denominator: Now, let's look at the denominator, which is (76). This is already in its simplest form, so we don't need to do anything with it.
Divide by Reciprocal: Next, we divide the fraction in the numerator by the fraction in the denominator. Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. So, we multiply 25 by the reciprocal of 76, which is 67.
Multiply Fractions: Now, multiply the two fractions. (25)×(67)=1235. This is the simplified result of the complex fraction.
