To simplify the expression, we can follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
First, let's perform the multiplication:
1/2 * 4/3 = (1 * 4) / (2 * 3) = 4/6 = 2/3
Now, let's perform the division:
5/6 / 7/8 = (5/6) * (8/7) = (5 * 8) / (6 * 7) = 40/42 = 20/21
Now, let's add the results:
2/3 + 20/21
To add the fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 21 is 21.
2/3 + 20/21 = (2 * 7) / (3 * 7) + 20/21 = 14/21 + 20/21 = 34/21
Therefore, 1/2 x 4/3 + 5/6 / 7/8 simplifies to 34/21.
1/2 x 4/3 + 5/6 / 7/8
