Math Problem Statement

(9⅓-2⅚+1¼)÷[1⅙+{2⅓+(6+5-4½)}]

Solution

To solve the expression (913256+114)÷[116+{213+(6+5412)}](9 \frac{1}{3} - 2 \frac{5}{6} + 1 \frac{1}{4}) \div \left[1 \frac{1}{6} + \left\{2 \frac{1}{3} + \left(6 + 5 - 4 \frac{1}{2}\right)\right\}\right], we'll proceed step by step.

Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions

  1. 913=2839 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{28}{3}
  2. 256=1762 \frac{5}{6} = \frac{17}{6}
  3. 114=541 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4}
  4. 116=761 \frac{1}{6} = \frac{7}{6}
  5. 213=732 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}
  6. 412=924 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{2}

Step 2: Simplify the innermost expression inside the braces

6+5412=1192=22292=1326 + 5 - 4 \frac{1}{2} = 11 - \frac{9}{2} = \frac{22}{2} - \frac{9}{2} = \frac{13}{2}

Step 3: Continue simplifying the expression inside the braces

213+132=73+132=146+396=5362 \frac{1}{3} + \frac{13}{2} = \frac{7}{3} + \frac{13}{2} = \frac{14}{6} + \frac{39}{6} = \frac{53}{6}

Step 4: Simplify the expression inside the brackets

116+536=76+536=606=101 \frac{1}{6} + \frac{53}{6} = \frac{7}{6} + \frac{53}{6} = \frac{60}{6} = 10

Step 5: Simplify the numerator

913256+114=283176+549 \frac{1}{3} - 2 \frac{5}{6} + 1 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{28}{3} - \frac{17}{6} + \frac{5}{4} To subtract and add, find a common denominator: 283=566,54=1512=3024\frac{28}{3} = \frac{56}{6}, \quad \frac{5}{4} = \frac{15}{12} = \frac{30}{24} Now simplify: 566176=396=7812,7812+3024=21624+3024=24624=414\frac{56}{6} - \frac{17}{6} = \frac{39}{6} = \frac{78}{12}, \quad \frac{78}{12} + \frac{30}{24} = \frac{216}{24} + \frac{30}{24} = \frac{246}{24} = \frac{41}{4}

Step 6: Perform the division

414÷10=414×110=4140\frac{41}{4} \div 10 = \frac{41}{4} \times \frac{1}{10} = \frac{41}{40}

Final Answer:

4140 or 1.025\frac{41}{40} \text{ or } 1.025
