The expression 4 1 2 − 2 −5 2/3 can be simplified as follows:
4 1 2 = 4 + 1/2 = 4.5
-2 −5 2/3 = -2 - (5 * 2/3) = -2 - (10/3) = -2 - (3.33) = -5.33
Therefore, the simplified expression is:
4 1 2 − 2 −5 2/3 = 4.5 - (-5.33) = 4.5 + 5.33 = 9.83
So, the answer is approximately 9.83.
that's not right bruh read the answers I put
I apologize for the confusion. Let me re-evaluate the expression for you.
4 1 2 = 4 + 1/2 = 4.5
-2 - 5 2/3 = -2 - (5 * 2/3) = -2 - (10/3) = -2 - (3.33) = -5.33
Therefore, the simplified expression is:
4 1 2 − 2 −5 2/3 = 4.5 - (-5.33) = 4.5 + 5.33 = 9.83
So, the answer is still approximately 9.83. My previous response and the given answer choices do not match.
bruh this app is dog water

To evaluate the expression 4 1 2 - 2 -5 2/3, you need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS).
Step 1: Perform any operations inside parentheses or brackets. There are no parentheses or brackets in this expression.
Step 2: Evaluate any exponents or powers. There are no exponents in this expression.
Step 3: Perform any multiplication or division from left to right. In this expression, we have the division of -5 by 2/3. To divide a fraction by another fraction, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
-5 ÷ 2/3 = -5 * 3/2 = -15/2
Step 4: Perform any addition or subtraction from left to right.
4 1 2 - 2 -15/2
Using the order of operations, we subtract the second term from the first term.
4 1 2 - 15/2
Converting the mixed fraction to an improper fraction:
4 1 2 = 9/2
9/2 - 15/2 = -6/2 = -3
Therefore, the evaluated expression is -3.
To evaluate the expression 4 1 2 - 2 -5 2/3, we follow the order of operations, which is also known as BIDMAS or PEMDAS.
BIDMAS stands for Brackets, Indices (Powers and Roots), Division and Multiplication (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). PEMDAS is similar, but uses parentheses instead of brackets.
In this expression, we don't have any brackets or parentheses, so we move on to the next steps:
Step 1: Exponents and roots (if any)
There are no exponents or roots in this expression.
Step 2: Division and multiplication (from left to right)
There are no divisions or multiplications in this expression.
Step 3: Addition and subtraction (from left to right)
First, we subtract -2 from 2, which gives us 4 1 2.
Next, we subtract -5 from 4 1 2. To subtract a negative number, we change it to addition. So, -5 becomes +5. Therefore, we have 4 1 2 + 5, which equals 4 1 7.
Lastly, we subtract 2/3 from 4 1 7. To subtract fractions, the denominators (bottom numbers) must be the same. In this case, we need to convert 2/3 to the same denominator as 7, which is 21. So, 2/3 equals (2 * 7)/(3 * 7) = 14/21.
Now we can subtract 14/21 from 4 1 7. To subtract fractions with the same denominator, we subtract the numerators (top numbers) and keep the denominator the same. 7 - 14 equals -7, so we have -7/21.
Putting it all together, the expression 4 1 2 - 2 -5 2/3 evaluates to -7/21, which is equivalent to -3 1/6.
So, the correct response is: –3 1/6.
