Math Problem Statement

Evaluate: (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

6 ÷ [ 5×(4−2) ÷ (52+3) ] ÷ 2

Solution

Let's break down the expression step by step:

We are asked to evaluate:

6÷[5×(42)÷(52+3)]÷26 \div \left[ 5 \times (4 - 2) \div (5^2 + 3) \right] \div 2

Step 1: Simplify inside the parentheses

  1. 42=24 - 2 = 2
  2. 52=255^2 = 25, so 25+3=2825 + 3 = 28

Now the expression becomes:

6÷[5×2÷28]÷26 \div \left[ 5 \times 2 \div 28 \right] \div 2

Step 2: Simplify the multiplication and division inside the brackets

  • 5×2=105 \times 2 = 10
  • 10÷280.35710 \div 28 \approx 0.357

Now the expression becomes:

6÷0.357÷26 \div 0.357 \div 2

Step 3: Perform the division

First, divide 6÷0.3576 \div 0.357:

6÷0.35716.7986 \div 0.357 \approx 16.798

Now divide by 2:

16.798÷28.39916.798 \div 2 \approx 8.399

Final Answer:

8.399\boxed{8.399}
