The value of
is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Numerator:
[3/8 − {3/8 − (5/8 − 3/8)}] of 4.8 − 0.9
- 5/8 − 3/8 = 1/4
- 3/8 − 1/4 = 1/8
- 3/8 − 1/8 = 1/4
- 1/4 of 4.8 = 1.2
- 1.2 − 0.9 = 0.3
Denominator:
4 1/6 ÷ 2.5 × 0.2 ÷ (1/5 of 50) + (3/4 − 1/8)
- 4 1/6 = 25/6
- 25/6 ÷ 2.5 = 5/3
- 5/3 × 0.2 = 1/3
- 1/5 of 50 = 10 → 1/3 ÷ 10 = 1/30
- 3/4 − 1/8 = 5/8
- 1/30 + 5/8 = 4/120 + 75/120 = 79/120
Final value:
0.3 ÷ (79/120) = (3/10) × (120/79) = 360/790 = 36/79
