The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \( \frac{11}{4} + 7 \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{8}{15} \div 2 \frac{1}{2} \), we will follow the order of operations: division, multiplication, and then addition. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions**: - \( 7 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{7 \times 4 + 3}{4} = \frac{28 + 3}{4} = \frac{31}{4} \) - \( 2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{4 + 1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} \) Now, the expression becomes: \[ \frac{11}{4} + \frac{31}{4} \times \frac{8}{15} \div \frac{5}{2} \] 2. **Perform Division**: - To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal: \[ \frac{8}{15} \div \frac{5}{2} = \frac{8}{15} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{8 \times 2}{15 \times 5} = \frac{16}{75} \] Now, the expression simplifies to: \[ \frac{11}{4} + \frac{31}{4} \times \frac{16}{75} \] 3. **Perform Multiplication**: - Now multiply \( \frac{31}{4} \) by \( \frac{16}{75} \): \[ \frac{31 \times 16}{4 \times 75} = \frac{496}{300} \] Now, the expression becomes: \[ \frac{11}{4} + \frac{496}{300} \] 4. **Convert \( \frac{11}{4} \) to a Common Denominator**: - The common denominator between 4 and 300 is 300. Convert \( \frac{11}{4} \): \[ \frac{11}{4} = \frac{11 \times 75}{4 \times 75} = \frac{825}{300} \] 5. **Add the Fractions**: - Now add \( \frac{825}{300} + \frac{496}{300} \): \[ \frac{825 + 496}{300} = \frac{1321}{300} \] ### Final Answer: \[ \frac{1321}{300} \]
