Math Problem Statement

Solve the following equation: (6 * (2/6) + 7) / (4/7) + 45/3 ÷ √(25/9)

Solution

The equation in the image is:

626+747+453÷259\frac{6 \cdot \frac{2}{6} + 7}{\frac{4}{7}} + \frac{45}{3} \div \sqrt{\frac{25}{9}}

Let's break this down step by step.

Step 1: Simplify the first fraction

The numerator of the first fraction is: 626+7=2+7=96 \cdot \frac{2}{6} + 7 = 2 + 7 = 9

The denominator is: 47\frac{4}{7}

So the first term becomes: 947=974=634\frac{9}{\frac{4}{7}} = 9 \cdot \frac{7}{4} = \frac{63}{4}

Step 2: Simplify the second part

The second part is: 453÷259\frac{45}{3} \div \sqrt{\frac{25}{9}}

First, simplify: 453=15\frac{45}{3} = 15

Next, simplify the square root: 259=53\sqrt{\frac{25}{9}} = \frac{5}{3}

So, we now have: 15÷53=1535=915 \div \frac{5}{3} = 15 \cdot \frac{3}{5} = 9

Step 3: Add the two parts

Now, add the two results: 634+9=634+364=994=24.75\frac{63}{4} + 9 = \frac{63}{4} + \frac{36}{4} = \frac{99}{4} = 24.75

The correct answer is approximately 24.75, not 27.83.
