Solve 2(1.5*1.25+1.25*0.65+0.65*1.5)=

$$2(1.5 \times 1.25+1.25 \times 0.65+0.65 \times 1.5)=$$

Evaluate

$$7.325$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1.5 and 1.25 to get 1.875.

$$2\left(1.875+1.25\times 0.65+0.65\times 1.5\right)$$

Multiply 1.25 and 0.65 to get 0.8125.

$$2\left(1.875+0.8125+0.65\times 1.5\right)$$

Add 1.875 and 0.8125 to get 2.6875.

$$2\left(2.6875+0.65\times 1.5\right)$$

Multiply 0.65 and 1.5 to get 0.975.

$$2\left(2.6875+0.975\right)$$

Add 2.6875 and 0.975 to get 3.6625.

$$2\times 3.6625$$

Multiply 2 and 3.6625 to get 7.325.

$$7.325$$

Factor

$$\frac{293}{5 \cdot 2 ^ {3}} = 7\frac{13}{40} = 7.325$$
