To solve this problem without using PEMDAS, we will perform the operations in order from left to right.
1/2 times 4/3 = (1 times 4) / (2 times 3) = 4/6
Next, we add 5/6 to 4/6.
4/6 plus 5/6 = (4 + 5) / 6 = 9/6
Finally, we divide 9/6 by 7/8.
9/6 divided by 7/8 = (9/6) times (8/7) = (9 times 8) / (6 times 7) = 72/42
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 6.
72/42 = (72 ÷ 6) / (42 ÷ 6) = 12/7
Thus, 1/2 times 4/3 plus 5/6 divided by 7/8 is equal to 12/7 as a mixed fraction.
1/2 times 4/3 plus 5/6 divided by 7/8 as a mixed fraction with no PEMDAS
