First, we need to simplify the expression inside the parenthesis:
1⅔ + 2½ = 5/3 + 5/2 (we need to find a common denominator)
= 10/6 + 15/6
= 25/6
Now we can substitute this in the original expression:
(4¾ - 1⅚) ÷ 1 1/24 × (1⅔ + 2½)
= (19/4 - 7/6) ÷ 1 1/24 × 25/6
Next, we need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction:
1 1/24 = (24/24) + (1/24)
= 25/24
Now, we can multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor, which is the same as dividing by the divisor:
(19/4 - 7/6) ÷ 1 1/24 × 25/6
= (19/4 - 7/6) × 24/25
To simplify this fraction, we need to find a common denominator:
19/4 = 114/24
7/6 = 28/24
So, the expression becomes:
= (114/24 - 28/24) × 24/25
= (86/24) × (24/25)
= 86/25
Therefore, (4¾ - 1⅚) ÷ 1 1/24 × (1⅔ + 2½) = 86/25.
(4¾-1⅚)÷1 1/24×(1⅔+2½)
