(255)/(6)*(672)/(9)+(37)/(9) How do you work this out step by step??
1 answer:
Step 1. Type it into a Google search box or calculator. (You need to use a calculator anyway.) The result is 3177 4/9.
If you're doing this according to the Order of Operations, you do the multiplication and division left to right. This means the first calculation you do is
255/6 = 42.5
Next, you multiply by 672
42.5*672 = 28560
Then divide by 9
28560/9 = 3173 3/9
You continue by doing the division
37/9 = 4 1/9
And finish by adding the two results
3173 3/9 + 4 1/9 = 3174 4/9

If you're doing this by hand, you can recognize the first term as the product of two fractions, so is the product of numerators divided by the product of denominators.
(255*672)/(6*9)
Using your knowledge of divisibility rules, you can do the division 672/6 to simplify this to
(255*112)/9
Now, the first term and the second term have the same denominator, so you can add the numerators before you do the division.
(255*112 + 37)/9 = (28560 + 37)/9 = 28597/9
You end up having to do only two simple divisions, rather than 3 of them.
28597/9 = 3177 4/9

- Which of the following is most likely the next step in the series ?
- The next series is most probably going to be <u>option </u><u>D.</u><u> </u>
- We can see from the series that, figure 1 has 4 points marked on the circle from which they formed a rectangle.
- In the next figure, there are 3 points marked which together when joined forms a triangle.
- Then the next circle has 2 points marked on it which makes a straight line.
- So, obviously the next figure/circle in the series should have only 1 point marked on it. This won't form anything as you can't join just 1 point with something.
