Exercise #1

4.11.63.2+4.7=? 4.1\cdot1.6\cdot3.2+4.7=\text{?}

Step-by-Step Solution

We convert decimal numbers into mixed fractions:

4110×1610×3210+4710= 4\frac{1}{10}\times1\frac{6}{10}\times3\frac{2}{10}+4\frac{7}{10}=

Now, we convert mixed fractions into simple fractions:

4110×1610×3210+4710= \frac{41}{10}\times\frac{16}{10}\times\frac{32}{10}+\frac{47}{10}=

We solve the exercise from left to right:

41×1610×10=656100 \frac{41\times16}{10\times10}=\frac{656}{100}

Now we get the exercise:

656100×3210+4710= \frac{656}{100}\times\frac{32}{10}+\frac{47}{10}=

We solve the multiplication exercise:

656×32100×10=20,9921,000 \frac{656\times32}{100\times10}=\frac{20,992}{1,000}

Now we get the exercise:

20,9921,000+4710= \frac{20,992}{1,000}+\frac{47}{10}=

We multiply the fraction on the right so that its denominator is also 1000:

47×10010×100=4,7001,000 \frac{47\times100}{10\times100}=\frac{4,700}{1,000}

We get the exercise:

20,9921,000+4,7001,000=20,992+4,7001,000=25,6921,000 \frac{20,992}{1,000}+\frac{4,700}{1,000}=\frac{20,992+4,700}{1,000}=\frac{25,692}{1,000}

We convert the simple fraction into a decimal number:

25,6921,000=25.692 \frac{25,692}{1,000}=25.692

Answer

25.692
