Evaluate the following expression


E=x/y+5w^(2)

For x=2/3, y=5/6, and w=3

We substitute the given values in the expression:


E=((2)/(3))/((5)/(6))+5\cdot3^2

The division of fractions is equivalent to multiply by the reciprocal of the denominator:


\begin{gathered} E=(2)/(3)\cdot(6)/(5)+5\cdot9 \\ E=(12)/(15)+45 \end{gathered}

Simplifying the fraction and operating the resulting fractions:


\begin{gathered} E=(4)/(5)+45 \\ E=(4+5\cdot45)/(5) \\ E=(4+225)/(5) \\ E=(229)/(5) \end{gathered}
