Bot GPT 3.5 To solve this expression, we follow the order of operations: parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right).
First, let's simplify the division inside the parentheses:
4/3 ÷ 7/8 = 4/3 * 8/7 = (4 * 8) / (3 * 7) = 32/21
Next, we solve the division outside the parentheses:
1/2 ÷ (32/21) = 1/2 * (21/32) = (1 * 21) / (2 * 32) = 21/64
Finally, we add the last fraction:
21/64 + 5/6 = (21 * 6 + 5 * 64) / (64 * 6) = (126 + 320) / 384 = 446/384
The expression 1/2 * 4/3 + 5/6 ÷ 7/8 simplifies to 446/384.
