To solve 3 2/5 % 3/10, Jessie first needs to convert the mixed number 3 2/5 to an improper fraction.
To do this, Jessie will multiply the whole number 3 by the denominator 5 and add the numerator 2:
3 * 5 = 15
15 + 2 = 17
So, 3 2/5 can be written as 17/5.
Next, Jessie needs to calculate the remainder when dividing 17/5 by 3/10.
To find the remainder, Jessie will multiply the denominator 5 by the reciprocal of 3/10, which is 10/3:
5 * (10/3) = 50/3
Then, Jessie will subtract the whole number part of 50/3, which is 16, from 17:
17 - 16 = 1
So, the remainder is 1.
Therefore, the result of solving 3 2/5 % 3/10 is 1.
