Q. Evaluate: 43+76÷54−74. Express the answer as a mixed number in lowest
Follow Order of Operations: First, we need to follow the order of operations, which means we do the division first. 43+(76÷54)−74
Division of Fractions: Now, let's do the division. To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. 76÷54=76×45
Simplify Result: Multiplying the fractions gives us:(6×5)/(7×4)=2830But this can be simplified to:2830=1415
Substitute Result: Now we substitute the result back into the original expression: 43+1415−74
Find Common Denominator: We need a common denominator to add and subtract the fractions. The least common denominator (LCD) for 4, 14, and 7 is 28. So we convert each fraction: 43=2821, 1415=2830, and 74=2816
Add and Subtract Fractions: Now we add and subtract the fractions with the common denominator: 2821+2830−2816
Add and Subtract Fractions: Now we add and subtract the fractions with the common denominator: 2821+2830−2816 Adding and subtracting the numerators gives us: (21+30−16)/28=2835
