Let's break down the expression step by step. The expression you provided is:
\[ 2 + 48 + \left( 3 \frac{5}{9} \times 2 \frac{1}{8} \right) : (6.1 - 3.7) \]
Step 1: Simplify \(6.1 - 3.7\)
\[ 6.1 - 3.7 = 2.4 \]
Step 2: Work out the fractional multiplication \(3 \frac{5}{9} \times 2 \frac{1}{8}\)
First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
- \(3 \frac{5}{9} = \frac{3 \times 9 + 5}{9} = \frac{27 + 5}{9} = \frac{32}{9}\)
- \(2 \frac{1}{8} = \frac{2 \times 8 + 1}{8} = \frac{16 + 1}{8} = \frac{17}{8}\)
Now, multiply the two fractions together:
\[ \frac{32}{9} \times \frac{17}{8} = \frac{32 \times 17}{9 \times 8} = \frac{544}{72} \]
We can simplify \( \frac{544}{72} \) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 544 and 72, which is 8:
\[ \frac{544 \div 8}{72 \div 8} = \frac{68}{9} \]
Step 3: Divide by \(2.4\)
Now we need to divide \( \frac{68}{9} \) by \(2.4\):
Convert \(2.4\) to a fraction:
\[ 2.4 = \frac{24}{10} = \frac{12}{5} \]
Now, perform the division:
\[ \frac{68}{9} \div \frac{12}{5} = \frac{68}{9} \times \frac{5}{12} = \frac{68 \times 5}{9 \times 12} = \frac{340}{108} \]
We can simplify \( \frac{340}{108} \):
The GCD of 340 and 108 is 4:
\[ \frac{340 \div 4}{108 \div 4} = \frac{85}{27} \]
Step 4: Combine Everything
Now substitute back into the original expression:
\[ 2 + 48 + \frac{85}{27} \]
First, add \(2 + 48\):
\[ 2 + 48 = 50 \]
Now express 50 as a fraction with a common denominator of 27 for easy addition:
\[ 50 = \frac{50 \times 27}{27} = \frac{1350}{27} \]
Now, add \(\frac{1350}{27} + \frac{85}{27}\):
\[ \frac{1350 + 85}{27} = \frac{1435}{27} \]
Final Result
So the final result of the expression \(2 + 48 + 3 \frac{5}{9} \times 2 \frac{1}{8} : (6.1 - 3.7)\) is:
\[ \frac{1435}{27} \]
If you want a mixed number or decimal, you can further calculate:
\[ \frac{1435}{27} \approx 53.52 \]
Hence, the final answer can be expressed in fractions or decimals as needed.
