Solve 2=(53/4)(1/3)(2)

$$2 = ( 5 \frac { 3 } { 4 } ) ( \frac { 1 } { 3 } ) ( 2 )$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 4,3.

$$24=3\left(5\times 4+3\right)\times \frac{1}{3}\times 2$$

Multiply 5 and 4 to get 20.

$$24=3\left(20+3\right)\times \frac{1}{3}\times 2$$

Add 20 and 3 to get 23.

$$24=3\times 23\times \frac{1}{3}\times 2$$

Multiply 3 and 23 to get 69.

$$24=69\times \frac{1}{3}\times 2$$

Multiply 69 and \frac{1}{3} to get \frac{69}{3}.

$$24=\frac{69}{3}\times 2$$

Divide 69 by 3 to get 23.

$$24=23\times 2$$

Multiply 23 and 2 to get 46.

$$24=46$$

Compare 24 and 46.
