Math Problem Statement

Solve the three mathematical expressions: (1) 2/3 ÷ 4/7 = ?, (2) 4a/7b * x + 5b/2a = ?, (3) 2 3/4x + 3 1/2 = ?

Solution

Let's break down the three mathematical expressions from the image you uploaded.

1. First Expression:

23÷47=?\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{4}{7} = ? To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second: 23÷47=23×74=2×73×4=1412\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{4}{7} = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{7}{4} = \frac{2 \times 7}{3 \times 4} = \frac{14}{12} Simplify: 1412=76\frac{14}{12} = \frac{7}{6}

2. Second Expression:

4a7bx+5b2a=?\frac{4a}{7b}x + \frac{5b}{2a} = ? This is an algebraic expression that can only be simplified further if values of aa, bb, or xx are provided. For now, it remains in this form.

3. Third Expression:

234x+312=?2\frac{3}{4}x + 3\frac{1}{2} = ? First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions: 234=114,312=722\frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{4}, \quad 3\frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2} Now, the expression becomes: 114x+72\frac{11}{4}x + \frac{7}{2} To simplify further, we could combine like terms if more information is given about xx.
