Math Problem Statement

(5/3 x 4 5/6) : 1.75 +5/3

Solution

Let's break down and solve the given expression step by step.

The expression is:
(53×456)÷(1.75+53)\left( \frac{5}{3} \times 4 \frac{5}{6} \right) \div \left( 1.75 + \frac{5}{3} \right)

Step 1: Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction.

Convert 4564 \frac{5}{6} to an improper fraction: 456=2964 \frac{5}{6} = \frac{29}{6}

Step 2: Multiply the fractions.

Now multiply 53×296\frac{5}{3} \times \frac{29}{6}: 53×296=5×293×6=14518\frac{5}{3} \times \frac{29}{6} = \frac{5 \times 29}{3 \times 6} = \frac{145}{18}

Step 3: Add the terms in the denominator.

Add 1.751.75 and 53\frac{5}{3}. First, convert 1.751.75 to a fraction: 1.75=741.75 = \frac{7}{4}

Now add 74\frac{7}{4} and 53\frac{5}{3} by finding a common denominator: 74+53=2112+2012=4112\frac{7}{4} + \frac{5}{3} = \frac{21}{12} + \frac{20}{12} = \frac{41}{12}

Step 4: Perform the division.

Now divide 14518\frac{145}{18} by 4112\frac{41}{12}. To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second: 14518÷4112=14518×1241=145×1218×41=1740738=290123\frac{145}{18} \div \frac{41}{12} = \frac{145}{18} \times \frac{12}{41} = \frac{145 \times 12}{18 \times 41} = \frac{1740}{738} = \frac{290}{123}

Step 5: Simplify the fraction.

The fraction 290123\frac{290}{123} is already in its simplest form.

Final Answer:

290123\boxed{\frac{290}{123}}
