Let's solve the expression step by step:
Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:
- \(2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}\)
- \(2 \frac{1}{7} = \frac{15}{7}\)
Calculate the expression inside the parentheses:
- \(\frac{5}{8} - \frac{8}{3}\)
- To subtract these fractions, find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 3 is 24.
Convert both fractions:
- \(\frac{5}{8} = \frac{5 \times 3}{8 \times 3} = \frac{15}{24}\)
- \(\frac{8}{3} = \frac{8 \times 8}{3 \times 8} = \frac{64}{24}\)
Now perform the subtraction: \[ \frac{5}{8} - \frac{8}{3} = \frac{15}{24} - \frac{64}{24} = \frac{15 - 64}{24} = \frac{-49}{24} \]
Perform the division:
- We have \(\frac{7}{3} : \left(\frac{-49}{24}\right)\)
- Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal: \[ \frac{7}{3} \div \frac{-49}{24} = \frac{7}{3} \times \frac{24}{-49} \]
- Calculate: \[ = \frac{7 \times 24}{3 \times -49} = \frac{168}{-147} = -\frac{24}{21} = -\frac{8}{7} \]
Calculate the multiplication:
- Calculate \(2 \cdot \frac{15}{7}\): \[ 2 \cdot \frac{15}{7} = \frac{30}{7} \]
Add the results:
- We need to combine \(-\frac{8}{7}\) and \(\frac{30}{7}\): \[ -\frac{8}{7} + \frac{30}{7} = \frac{30 - 8}{7} = \frac{22}{7} \]
Convert to decimal:
- Now convert \(\frac{22}{7}\) to decimal form: \[ \frac{22}{7} \approx 3.14 \]
Thus, the calculated value of the expression \( 2 \frac{1}{3} : ( \frac{5}{8} - \frac{8}{3}) + 2 \cdot 2 \frac{1}{7} \) is approximately \( 3.14 \), not \( 1.857 \).
If you intended to arrive at \( 1.857 \), please verify or provide more context or corrections regarding input numbers or operations.
