Math Problem Statement

Solve the expression involving fractions, decimals, and arithmetic operations.

Solution

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

The expression looks like:

f(435+6:(1.5+(5156))):2+3:14(0.13)f \left( -4 \frac{3}{5} + 6 : \left( -1.5 + \left( 5 - \frac{1}{5} \cdot 6 \right) \right) \right) : 2 + 3 : \frac{1}{4} \cdot (-0.13)

Steps:

  1. Fractional values:

    • 435=435=4.6-4 \frac{3}{5} = -4 - \frac{3}{5} = -4.6
  2. Parentheses:

    • Start with 1.5+(5156)-1.5 + \left( 5 - \frac{1}{5} \cdot 6 \right)
    • 156=1.2\frac{1}{5} \cdot 6 = 1.2
    • 51.2=3.85 - 1.2 = 3.8
    • So, 1.5+3.8=2.3-1.5 + 3.8 = 2.3
  3. Division:

    • 6:2.36 : 2.3 (this is division) = 62.32.61\frac{6}{2.3} \approx 2.61
  4. First Part Evaluation:

    • Now evaluate the part inside the function ff: 4.6+2.611.99-4.6 + 2.61 \approx -1.99
  5. Outside the parentheses:

    • Now, continue with the remaining expression: (1.99):2+3:14(0.13)(-1.99) : 2 + 3 : \frac{1}{4} \cdot (-0.13)
  6. Second part:

    • 3:14=3×4=123 : \frac{1}{4} = 3 \times 4 = 12
    • 12(0.13)=1.5612 \cdot (-0.13) = -1.56
  7. Final evaluation:

    • Now, the expression becomes: (1.99:2)+(1.56)(-1.99 : 2) + (-1.56)
    • 1.99:2=0.995-1.99 : 2 = -0.995
    • So the final result is: 0.995+(1.56)=2.555-0.995 + (-1.56) = -2.555

Thus, the value of the given expression is approximately:

2.555\boxed{-2.555}
