Replacing x by 4 and y by 2, it is found that the value of the expression is of 8.
The expression given is:

We want to evaluate it for x=4 and y=2, hence, we replace x by 4 and y by 2, then:

The value of the expression is of 8.
A similar problem, in which the objective is finding the value of an expression, is given at brainly.com/question/19548262
X would have to be less than 3.5
It would take 20 hours since 8,000 times 5 is 40,000 so 4 times 5 is 20.
Logic.
let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then multiply.
![\bf \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{2}{5}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 5+2}{5}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{17}{5}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{17}{~~\begin{matrix} 5 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}\cdot ~~\begin{matrix} 5 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~\implies 17](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cstackrel%7Bmixed%7D%7B3%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B5%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B3%5Ccdot%205%2B2%7D%7B5%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bimproper%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B17%7D%7B5%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Ccfrac%7B17%7D%7B~~%5Cbegin%7Bmatrix%7D%205%20%5C%5C%5B-0.7em%5D%5Ccline%7B1-1%7D%5C%5C%5B-5pt%5D%5Cend%7Bmatrix%7D~~%7D%5Ccdot%20~~%5Cbegin%7Bmatrix%7D%205%20%5C%5C%5B-0.7em%5D%5Ccline%7B1-1%7D%5C%5C%5B-5pt%5D%5Cend%7Bmatrix%7D~~%5Cimplies%2017)
