To solve the expression \(6 + 8 : 7\), you need to follow the order of operations, which states to perform division before addition.
First, calculate \(8 : 7\): \[ 8 \div 7 \approx 1.142857 \]
Next, add this result to 6: \[ 6 + 1.142857 \approx 7.142857 \]
So, \(6 + 8 : 7 \approx 7.142857\).
If you want it in fraction form, \(8 : 7\) can be expressed as \(\frac{8}{7}\): \[ 6 + \frac{8}{7} = \frac{42}{7} + \frac{8}{7} = \frac{50}{7} \]
Thus, the final answer can be expressed as approximately \(7.14\) or \(\frac{50}{7}\) in fractional form.
