Answer:
D. 18.68
Step-by-step explanation:

Applying PEMDAS as order of operations.
Solving the exponents first ![[(\frac{2}{5})^2=\frac{4}{25}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%28%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B5%7D%29%5E2%3D%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B25%7D%5D)

Multiplying ![[53\times \frac{4}{25}=8.48]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B53%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B25%7D%3D8.48%5D)

Dividing ![[27\div \frac{5}{3}=16.2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B27%5Cdiv%20%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B3%7D%3D16.2%5D)

It is false that the midpoint is in quadrant IV
<h3>How to determine the midpoint location?</h3>
The endpoints are given as:
S (1,4) and T (5,2
The midpoint is
(x, y) = 0.5 *(x1 + x2, y1 + y2)
So, we have:
(x, y) = 0.5 *(1 + 5, 4 + 2)
Evaluate the expression
(x, y) = (3, 3)
The point (3, 3) is located in the first quadrant
Hence, it is false that the midpoint is in quadrant IV
