Answer:

Depends where the parenthesis are. But if you solve it using PEMDANS it's 1.475.

Explanation:

When solving something like this, you use PEMDAS, sometimes known as GEMDAS and solve it in this order.

P/G=Parenthesis

E= Exponents

M= Multiplication

D= Division

A= Addition

S= Subtraction.

So skip P, E, M, and S because there are no parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, or subtraction signs.

So 7/8=0.875. 9/15=0.6, and if you add those you get 1.475
