Rewrite  into the following form:

Change the division sign to a multiplication sign by flipping the 2nd term and simplify.

The expression  can be rewritten as:

Change the division sign to a multiplication sign and take the reciprocal of the second term.  Evaluate.

The expression  can be simplified as follows:

We can simplify each fraction by multiplying the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

From here we add our two new fractions together and simplify.

Begin by simplifying your numerator. Thus, find the common denominator:

Next, combine the fractions in the numerator:

Next, remember that to divide fractions, you multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:

Since nothing needs to be simplified, this is just:

Convert the numerators and denominators into single fractions, then simplify.

Start by finding the lowest common denominator in both the numerator and denominator of the complex fraction.

Add fractions with like denominators.

Simplify. Divide complex fractions by multiplying the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

Solve.

The least common multiple can be found by multiplying the denominators: 2, 3, and 5. The common denominator of these numbers is 30. Multiply the numerator with what was multiplied to the denominator of each term, and then solve.

First, simplify both sides.  becomes  and  becomes . The LCF between  and  is 36. Thus,  This simplifies to .

Begin by simplifying the denominator of the first fraction:

Now, remember that division of fractions is done by multiplying the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator. Thus:

Simplify a bit:

Simplify the complex fraction by multiplying by the complex denominator:

To solve this answer, we have to first make the mixed numbers improper fractions so that we can then find a common denominator. To make a mixed number into an improper fraction, you multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the result to the numerator. So, for the presented data:

and

Now, to find out how many total pounds of vegetables Steven purchased, we need to add these two improper fractions together:

To add these fractions, they need to have a common denominator. We can adjust each fraction to have a common denominator of  by multiplying  by  and by :

 To multiply fractions, just multiply across:

We can now add the numerators together; the denominator will stay the same:

Since all of the answer choices are mixed numbers, we now need to change our improper fraction answer into a mixed number answer. We can do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator and leaving the remainder as the numerator:

This means that our final answer is .
