Step 2

Let's first write down the expression clearly. We have twenty-five over four-hundred-eighty minus the product of eleven over forty and sixteen over thirty-three, plus the quotient of fifteen over eighty and three fifths, all divided by zero point four five periodic times ninety minus one.

$$\left[ \frac{25}{480} - \left( \frac{11}{40} \cdot \frac{16}{33} \right) + \left( \frac{15}{80} : \frac{3}{5} \right) \right] : \left[ 0,4(5) \cdot 90 - 1 \right]$$

Step 3

First, let's simplify the individual terms. Twenty-five and four-hundred-eighty can both be divided by five.

4
Step 4

Now, let's look at the multiplication. We can cancel eleven and thirty-three by eleven to get one and three. We can also simplify sixteen and forty by dividing by eight.

Step 5

Next, the division. Dividing by three fifths is the same as multiplying by five thirds. After simplifying, we get five sixteenths.

Step 6

Now let's convert the periodic decimal zero point four five periodic into a fraction. The formula for a mixed periodic decimal gives us forty-five minus four over ninety.

Converting the Decimal

$$0,4(5) = \frac{45 - 4}{90} = \frac{41}{90}$$

Step 7

With this, we can rewrite the second part of our expression.

$$\left[ \frac{41}{90} \cdot 90 - 1 \right]$$
