Solve 2(84)+2(432/3)

$$2 ( 84 ) + 2 ( 43 \frac { 2 } { 3 } )$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{766}{3}\approx 255.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 84 to get 168.

$$168+2\times \frac{43\times 3+2}{3}$$

Multiply 43 and 3 to get 129.

$$168+2\times \frac{129+2}{3}$$

Add 129 and 2 to get 131.

$$168+2\times \frac{131}{3}$$

Express 2\times \frac{131}{3} as a single fraction.

$$168+\frac{2\times 131}{3}$$

Multiply 2 and 131 to get 262.

$$168+\frac{262}{3}$$

Convert 168 to fraction \frac{504}{3}.

$$\frac{504}{3}+\frac{262}{3}$$

Since \frac{504}{3} and \frac{262}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{504+262}{3}$$

Add 504 and 262 to get 766.

$$\frac{766}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 383}{3} = 255\frac{1}{3} = 255.33333333333334$$
