Question

2 division sign (2/3) + 3 division sign 4 division sign (4/5)=

Answer 1

why all the words?

2/3 + 3/4/5 = 2/3 + 3/20 = 49/60
2/3 + 3/(4/5) = 2/3 + 15/4 = 53/12

without parentheses, multiplication and division are done left to right, before any addition or subtraction.

Answer 2

um those arent any of the answer choices..

a) 1/5
b) 11/15
c) 47/60
d)3 13/30
e)12

Answer 3

you are right; I misread the words. Here is what you wrote, using only math symbols:

2/(2/3) + 3/4/(4/5)

Now start inserting parentheses until it means what you think it should. If you use wolframalpha.com, it will show what your entered text really means:
