To simplify this expression, we first need to deal with the subtraction inside the parentheses:
-4 1/15 - 5/2/3
First, we need to divide the mixed number -4 1/15 by 5/2 (which is the same as division by 5/2):
-4 1/15 ÷ 5/2To divide mixed numbers, we first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
-61/15 ÷ 5/2Now, we need to divide fractions by multiplying by the reciprocal of the denominator:
-61/15 * 2/5 = -122/75
Now, we subtract the result from the original expression:
-7 3/5 - (-122/75)
To subtract a negative fraction, we can change it to addition and change the sign of the fraction:
-7 3/5 + 122/75
To add these two fractions, we need to find a common denominator:
-7 45/75 + 122/75
Now we can add the fractions:
-7 167/75
Finally, we can simplify the expression by converting the improper fraction back to a mixed number:
-8 17/75
Therefore, the simplified expression is -8 17/75.
