Answer:


(13)/(45) or 0.2888... - in decimal form.

Step-by-step explanation:

using PEDMAS rule:


(4)/(15) * ( (1)/(4) +(5)/(6) ) [ finish the addition in the brackets ]


(4)/(15) * ( (6)/(24) +(20)/(24) ) [ make the denominator same ]


(4)/(15) * ( (6+20)/(24) ) [ join the fraction as they now have same denominator ]


(4)/(15) * ( (26)/(24) ) [ after joining ]


(4)/(15) * ( (13)/(12) ) [ simplified ]


(4 * 13)/(15 * 3 * 4) { 4 gets cut }


(1*13)/(15*3) { basic multiplication }


(13)/(45) [ final answer ]
