Method 1

If we calculate the numerator in the main fraction first, we get

Vorlage:Displayed math

The double fraction on the right-hand side becomes, after multiplying top and bottom by \displaystyle {10}/{3}\,,

Vorlage:Displayed math

Then, we remove the common factor 10,

Method 2

Another way to calculate the expression is to divide it up into two separate terms

Vorlage:Displayed math

We simplify both double fractions on the right-hand side by multiplying top and bottom by 10/3

Vorlage:Displayed math

Instead of multiplying, respectively, by \displaystyle 4\cdot 3 and \displaystyle 5\cdot 3, we keep the numerators factorized and observe that if we multiply the top and bottom of the first fraction by 5 and the second by 4, we obtain the common denominator

Vorlage:Displayed math

Because \displaystyle 10=2\cdot 5 and \displaystyle 4=2\cdot 2, we can cancel out the common factors 2 and 5 and obtain the answer
