Answer:

118/49

Explanation:

Following order of operations rules, we must do the work presented inside parentheses first:

Convert both 4 4/27 and 3 1/3 into improper fractions. The results are:

112 10

------ divided by -----

7 3

We get the equivalent result by inverting the divisor 10/3 and then multiplying:

112 3 336

----- * ----- = ------

7 10 70

118

... which reduces to ------

35

Finally, we multiply this result by 5/7:

5 118

----- * -----

7 35

This product reduces to:

118

----------- or 118/49

7^2
