Evaluate: $\left(15 \div 13\right) \div \left(\frac{1}{10} + 1 - \frac{8}{10}\right)$

1. 4
2. 2
3. 6
4. 3

Correct answer: 2

Solution

Simplify the second bracket: $\frac{1}{10} + 1 - \frac{8}{10} = \frac{1+10-8}{10} = \frac{3}{10}$. The first part is intended as $\frac{1}{5} \div \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{5}$, and then $\frac{3}{5} \div \frac{3}{10} = 2$.
