Math Problem Statement

(13.8 x 1.9÷5.7+11.2) of (1/16)-(1/20)=?

Solution

To solve the given expression (13.8×1.9÷5.7+11.2)×(116120)(13.8 \times 1.9 \div 5.7 + 11.2) \times \left(\frac{1}{16} - \frac{1}{20}\right), we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

  1. Evaluate inside the parentheses:

    13.8×1.9÷5.7+11.213.8 \times 1.9 \div 5.7 + 11.2

    First, perform the multiplication and division from left to right:

    13.8×1.9=26.2213.8 \times 1.9 = 26.22

    Then divide by 5.7:

    26.22÷5.74.626.22 \div 5.7 \approx 4.6

    Now add 11.2:

    4.6+11.2=15.84.6 + 11.2 = 15.8

  2. Evaluate the fraction subtraction:

    116120\frac{1}{16} - \frac{1}{20}

    Find a common denominator, which is 80:

    116=580,120=480\frac{1}{16} = \frac{5}{80}, \quad \frac{1}{20} = \frac{4}{80}

    Subtract the fractions:

    580480=180\frac{5}{80} - \frac{4}{80} = \frac{1}{80}

  3. Multiply the results:

    15.8×18015.8 \times \frac{1}{80}

    Simplify the multiplication:

    15.8×180=15.880=0.197515.8 \times \frac{1}{80} = \frac{15.8}{80} = 0.1975

Thus, the final result is:

0.19750.1975
