Answer:
a) [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
b) [tex]46.69[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
a) To evaluate the value of this long expression, we can split it up into parts that are easy to calculate. [tex]2\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{12}[/tex] is equal to [tex]2+\frac{4}{12}+\frac{6}{12}-\frac{1}{12}[/tex] and since the fractions have the same denominators, you can add the numerators and keep the denominators. This would result in [tex]2\frac{9}{12}[/tex], which is [tex]2\frac{3}{4}[/tex] simplified. So, now we know that the first parentheses are equal to [tex]2\frac{3}{4}[/tex]. Next, we have to calculate [tex]2(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4})[/tex]. Using the distributive property to expand, we reach [tex]\frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{4}[/tex] and we bring them both with a denominator of 12 and add to get [tex]\frac{7}{6}[/tex]. Finally, the last square root is equal to [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] because [tex](\frac{1}{3})^2[/tex] is equal to [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex]. To find our final answer we put all of our answers together in the expression [tex]2\frac{3}{4}-\frac{7}{6}-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]. Bring all of these fractions to a denominator of 12 to get: [tex]2\frac{9}{12}-\frac{14}{12}-\frac{4}{12}[/tex]. We combine to get [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex].
b) Similar to the previous part, we can split this expression into two parts to make it more manageable; [tex]-4.9(-12+\sqrt{0.81})[/tex] and [tex](2.2)^2*1.59[/tex]. Once we find the value of each, we will get our final answer by subtracting the second from the first (as shown in the expression). [tex]-4.9(-12+\sqrt{0.81})[/tex] is equal to [tex]-4.9(-12+0.9)[/tex] which is [tex]-4.9*-11.1[/tex] which is [tex]54.39[/tex]. [tex](-2.2)^2*1.59[/tex] is equal to [tex]4.84*1.59[/tex] which is [tex]7.6956[/tex]. To get the final answer, we do [tex]54.39-7.6956[/tex] which is [tex]46.6944[/tex]. Rounded to the nearest hundredth, it is [tex]46.69[/tex].
Hope this helps :)
