First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
14/3 - 21/8
To find a common denominator, we multiply 3 and 8 to get 24.
So, we rewrite the expression as:
(14/3)8/8 - (21/8)3/3112/24 - 63/2449/24
Now, let's substitute this back into the original expression:
5/9 + 6/7 * (49/24) : 7/4
Next, let's multiply 6/7 by 49/24:
6/7 * 49/24294/168147/84
Substitute this back into the expression:
5/9 + 147/84 : 7/4
Now, let's divide 147/84 by 7/4:
147/84 ÷ 7/4147/84 * 4/7588/5881
Finally, substitute this back into the expression:
5/9 + 1(5 + 9)/914/9
So, 5/9 + 6/7 * (14/3 - 21/8) : 7/4 = 14/9.
First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
14/3 - 21/8
To find a common denominator, we multiply 3 and 8 to get 24.
So, we rewrite the expression as:
(14/3)8/8 - (21/8)3/3
112/24 - 63/24
49/24
Now, let's substitute this back into the original expression:
5/9 + 6/7 * (49/24) : 7/4
Next, let's multiply 6/7 by 49/24:
6/7 * 49/24
294/168
147/84
Substitute this back into the expression:
5/9 + 147/84 : 7/4
Now, let's divide 147/84 by 7/4:
147/84 ÷ 7/4
147/84 * 4/7
588/588
1
Finally, substitute this back into the expression:
5/9 + 1
(5 + 9)/9
14/9
So, 5/9 + 6/7 * (14/3 - 21/8) : 7/4 = 14/9.
