To evaluate the expression shown:
we begin by evaluating the numerator:
0.6+2.4(3-0.7×5/7)-7÷3 1/2
re-writing in proper fractions we get:
0.6+2.4(3-0.7×5/7)-7÷7/2
working out the parenthesis we get:
0.6+2.4(3-0.5)-7÷7/2
simplifying the above we get:
0.6+2.4(2.5)-7×2/7
=0.6+6-2
=4.6
working out the denominator we obtain:
5 1/4×4-(5.9-2.7÷9/11)×2 1/2
rewriting in proper fraction we get:
21/4×4-(5.9-2.7÷9/11)×5/2
working out the parenthesis:
21/4×4-(5.9-2.7×11/9)×5/2
=21-(5.9-3.3)×5/2
simplifying gives us:
21-(2.6×5/2)
=21-6.5
=14.5
thus putting back the expression we get:
4.6/14.5
=46/145
