Answer

1920\frac{19}{20}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

To evaluate the expression, we follow the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS): Brackets, Orders (powers/roots), Division/Multiplication (from left to right), Addition/Subtraction (from left to right). "Of" means multiplication.

First, convert all mixed numbers to improper fractions:
157=1×7+57=1271\frac{5}{7} = \frac{1 \times 7 + 5}{7} = \frac{12}{7}
213=2×3+13=732\frac{1}{3} = \frac{2 \times 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}
137=1×7+37=1071\frac{3}{7} = \frac{1 \times 7 + 3}{7} = \frac{10}{7}
223=2×3+23=832\frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 3 + 2}{3} = \frac{8}{3}

Substitute these into the expression:

34+127÷47 of 73(107−58)×83\frac{\frac{3}{4} + \frac{12}{7} \div \frac{4}{7} \text{ of } \frac{7}{3}}{\left(\frac{10}{7} - \frac{5}{8}\right) \times \frac{8}{3}}
  1. Evaluate the numerator.

    The numerator is 34+127÷47 of 73\frac{3}{4} + \frac{12}{7} \div \frac{4}{7} \text{ of } \frac{7}{3}.
    First, calculate the "of" part:

    47 of 73=47×73=4×77×3=43\frac{4}{7} \text{ of } \frac{7}{3} = \frac{4}{7} \times \frac{7}{3} = \frac{4 \times 7}{7 \times 3} = \frac{4}{3}

    Now the numerator becomes:

    34+127÷43\frac{3}{4} + \frac{12}{7} \div \frac{4}{3}

    Next, perform the division:

    127÷43=127×34=12×37×4=3×4×37×4=97\frac{12}{7} \div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{12}{7} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{12 \times 3}{7 \times 4} = \frac{3 \times 4 \times 3}{7 \times 4} = \frac{9}{7}

    Now the numerator becomes:

    34+97\frac{3}{4} + \frac{9}{7}

    Perform the addition by finding a common denominator (28):

    34+97=3×74×7+9×47×4=2128+3628=21+3628=5728\frac{3}{4} + \frac{9}{7} = \frac{3 \times 7}{4 \times 7} + \frac{9 \times 4}{7 \times 4} = \frac{21}{28} + \frac{36}{28} = \frac{21 + 36}{28} = \frac{57}{28}

    So, the numerator is 5728\frac{57}{28}.

  2. Evaluate the denominator.

    The denominator is (107−58)×83\left(\frac{10}{7} - \frac{5}{8}\right) \times \frac{8}{3}.
    First, calculate the expression inside the brackets by finding a common denominator (56):

    107−58=10×87×8−5×78×7=8056−3556=80−3556=4556\frac{10}{7} - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{10 \times 8}{7 \times 8} - \frac{5 \times 7}{8 \times 7} = \frac{80}{56} - \frac{35}{56} = \frac{80 - 35}{56} = \frac{45}{56}

    Now the denominator becomes:

    4556×83\frac{45}{56} \times \frac{8}{3}

    Perform the multiplication:

    4556×83=45×856×3=(15×3)×8(7×8)×3=157\frac{45}{56} \times \frac{8}{3} = \frac{45 \times 8}{56 \times 3} = \frac{(15 \times 3) \times 8}{(7 \times 8) \times 3} = \frac{15}{7}

    So, the denominator is 157\frac{15}{7}.

  3. Divide the numerator by the denominator.

    5728157=5728÷157\frac{\frac{57}{28}}{\frac{15}{7}} = \frac{57}{28} \div \frac{15}{7}

    To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal:

    5728×715\frac{57}{28} \times \frac{7}{15}

    Simplify before multiplying:

    574×7×715=574×15\frac{57}{4 \times 7} \times \frac{7}{15} = \frac{57}{4 \times 15}

    Both 57 and 15 are divisible by 3: 57÷3=1957 \div 3 = 19 and 15÷3=515 \div 3 = 5.

    194×5=1920\frac{19}{4 \times 5} = \frac{19}{20}

    The final answer is 1920\frac{19}{20}.
