http://postimage.org/image/sed71y3gf/ Can someone help me answer this question?

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

just work backwards here

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

start with the last term given:\[3-\frac{2}{3}=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 7/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the first one.

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

yes that is correct. so now look at the next term up which will become:\[3-\frac{2}{\frac{7}{3}}\]

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

so what is:\[2\div\frac{7}{3}=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get 6/7

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

correct again. so now we have:\[3-\frac{2}{\frac{7}{3}}=3-\frac{6}{7}=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15/7?

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

yup. so now again we can go one level up to get:\[3-\frac{2}{\frac{15}{7}}=?\]use the same techniques to solve this one - what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get 31/15

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

correct again - I thought you said you are not good with this? :) ok, finally we can now do:\[2-\frac{2}{\frac{31}{15}}=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 32/31

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice problem!!! :)

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

perfect! well done! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you

OpenStudy (asnaseer):
