Answer

−21524-\frac{215}{24}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Evaluate the first term

    (−134×56)\left(-\frac{13}{4} \times \frac{5}{6}\right).
    Multiply the numerators and the denominators:

    −134×56=−13×54×6=−6524-\frac{13}{4} \times \frac{5}{6} = -\frac{13 \times 5}{4 \times 6} = -\frac{65}{24}
  2. Evaluate the second term

    (92÷34)\left(\frac{9}{2} \div \frac{3}{4}\right).
    To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal:

    92÷34=92×43\frac{9}{2} \div \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}

    Simplify before multiplying:

    93×42=3×2=6\frac{9}{3} \times \frac{4}{2} = 3 \times 2 = 6
  3. Evaluate the third term

    (58×−615)\left(\frac{5}{8} \times \frac{-6}{15}\right).
    Multiply the numerators and the denominators. Simplify by canceling common factors:

    58×−615=515×−68=13×−34=−1×33×4=−14\frac{5}{8} \times \frac{-6}{15} = \frac{5}{15} \times \frac{-6}{8} = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{-3}{4} = -\frac{1 \times 3}{3 \times 4} = -\frac{1}{4}
  4. Combine the results from Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3.

    The original expression becomes:

    −6524−6+(−14)-\frac{65}{24} - 6 + \left(-\frac{1}{4}\right) −6524−6−14-\frac{65}{24} - 6 - \frac{1}{4}

    To combine these, find a common denominator, which is 24.
    Convert 6 to a fraction with denominator 24:

    6=6×241×24=144246 = \frac{6 \times 24}{1 \times 24} = \frac{144}{24}

    Convert −14-\frac{1}{4} to a fraction with denominator 24:

    −14=−1×64×6=−624-\frac{1}{4} = -\frac{1 \times 6}{4 \times 6} = -\frac{6}{24}

    Now substitute these back into the expression:

    −6524−14424−624-\frac{65}{24} - \frac{144}{24} - \frac{6}{24}

    Combine the numerators:

    −65−144−624=−209−624=−21524\frac{-65 - 144 - 6}{24} = \frac{-209 - 6}{24} = \frac{-215}{24}

    The final answer is −21524-\frac{215}{24}.
