Math Problem Statement

6/5 (1 - 2/7) : 7/9 (81/21) + 3/4 · 6/9 = ?

Solution

The expression you provided is:

65(127):79(8121)+3469\frac{6}{5} \left( 1 - \frac{2}{7} \right) : \frac{7}{9} \left( \frac{81}{21} \right) + \frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{6}{9}

I'll go ahead and solve it step-by-step:

Step 1: Simplify the first term

65(127)\frac{6}{5} \left( 1 - \frac{2}{7} \right) First, simplify inside the parentheses: 127=7727=571 - \frac{2}{7} = \frac{7}{7} - \frac{2}{7} = \frac{5}{7} Now multiply: 65×57=6×55×7=3035=67\frac{6}{5} \times \frac{5}{7} = \frac{6 \times 5}{5 \times 7} = \frac{30}{35} = \frac{6}{7}

Step 2: Simplify the second term

79×8121\frac{7}{9} \times \frac{81}{21} First, simplify 8121\frac{81}{21}: 8121=81÷321÷3=277\frac{81}{21} = \frac{81 \div 3}{21 \div 3} = \frac{27}{7} Now multiply: 79×277=7×279×7=279=3\frac{7}{9} \times \frac{27}{7} = \frac{7 \times 27}{9 \times 7} = \frac{27}{9} = 3

Step 3: Solve the division

The original expression had a division symbol between the first and second terms: 67:3=67×13=67×3=621=27\frac{6}{7} : 3 = \frac{6}{7} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{6}{7 \times 3} = \frac{6}{21} = \frac{2}{7}

Step 4: Simplify the third term

34×69\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{6}{9} Simplify 69\frac{6}{9}: 69=23\frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3} Now multiply: 34×23=3×24×3=612=12\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3 \times 2}{4 \times 3} = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}

Step 5: Add the results

Now add the results of the division and the multiplication: 27+12\frac{2}{7} + \frac{1}{2} To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common denominator between 7 and 2 is 14: 27=414,12=714\frac{2}{7} = \frac{4}{14}, \quad \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{14} Now add: 414+714=1114\frac{4}{14} + \frac{7}{14} = \frac{11}{14}

Final Answer:

1114\boxed{\frac{11}{14}}
