Answer:

Explanation:

What you wrote below the top line and the bottom line are not the same thing.

I think you really want the second line, but one can't be sure.

(1*2 + 5)/2 div (9/8)

7/2 // 9/8

7/2 * 8*9

7*8/18 = 56/18 = 28/9

If you really do want the top line (the latex) it is different.

1 2/5 div (8/9) Is there such a thing as tfrac? I didn't know this but there is.

(1*5 + 2)5 // (8/9)

7/5 // 8/9 Invert the bottom fraction and multiply

7/5 * 9 / 8

63 / 40

1 23/40
