The easiest way to do this is to put each term in the numerator over the denominator and do the division/reducing for each one. Like this:

. The first term reduces to

, the second to

, and the third to 3. Putting them all together with the signs in between we have
The answer is 492.307
The number after the thousandths is 9 - greater than 5 - so we round 6 up to 7.
That is true because you are still dividing x by three either way
Answer:
A. `1/2` foot
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the width of the box is shown below:
15 ÷ 28 = (5 ÷ 7)(1 1 ÷ 2)(width)
15 ÷ 28 = (5 ÷ 7)(3 ÷ 2)width
15 ÷ 28 = (15 ÷ 14)width
(15 ÷ 28) ÷ (15 ÷ 14) = width
(15 ÷ 28) × (14 ÷ 15) = width
w = 14 ÷ 28
= 1 ÷ 2 ft
