To simplify this expression, we first need to calculate 1/2 multiplied by 4/3. This equals 4/6 or 2/3.
Next, we need to add 5/6 to this result. To do this, we need to find a common denominator for 2/3 and 5/6, which is 6.
Multiplying 2/3 by 2/2, we get 4/6.
Adding 4/6 and 5/6, we get 9/6 or 3/2.
Finally, we need to divide 3/2 by 7/8. To divide fractions, we need to take the reciprocal of the second fraction and multiply.
The reciprocal of 7/8 is 8/7.
Multiplying 3/2 by 8/7, we get 24/14 or 12/7.
Therefore, the result of the calculation is 1 5/7 or 1 13/21.
So, the correct answer is B. 1 13/21.
What is the result of this calculation? 1/2 x 4/3 + 5/6 divided by 7/8=
A.1 27/48
B.1 13/21
