The value of $7\frac{4}{{13}} \div \frac{5}{{26}}of\left( {4\frac{3}{5} + 7\frac{2}{5}} \right) + \left( {7\frac{1}{6} - 2\frac{1}{3}} \right)$

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer in option 1 i.e. 8

$7\frac{4}{{13}} \div \frac{5}{{26}}of\left( {4\frac{3}{5} + 7\frac{2}{5}} \right) + \left( {7\frac{1}{6} - 2\frac{1}{3}} \right)$

= $\frac{95}{{13}} \div \frac{5}{{26}}of\left( {\frac{23}{5} + \frac{37}{5}} \right) + \left( {\frac{43}{6} - \frac{7}{3}} \right)$

= $\frac{95}{{13}} \div \frac{5}{{26}}of\left( 12 \right) + \left( {\frac{19}{2} } \right)$

= $\frac{95}{{13}} ×\frac{5}{{26}}of\left( 12 \right) + \left( {\frac{19}{2} } \right)$

= $\frac{95}{{13}} ×\frac{5}{{26}}×\left( 12 \right) + \left( {\frac{19}{2} } \right)$

= 8
