Notice that we are talking about the entire task here and that performance (speedup) is defined in terms of execution time! So we have to define the following:

latex($$SpeedupOverall = \frac{Old~Execution~Time}{New~Execution~Time}$$) (1)

This gives a new Execution time of

latex($$New~Exec~Time = Old~Exec~Time \left( 1 - FractionEnhanced + \frac{FractionEnhanced}{SpeedupEnhanced}\right)$$)

So we have

latex($$SpeedupOverall=\left(\frac{1}{1-FractionEnhanced + \frac{FractionEnhanced}{SpeedupEnhanced}}\right)$$)
