Answer:

0.8348

Explanation:

Given the expression 1/6.43 +2/3.56 +1/8.51, If 'a' is a number, the reciprocal of such number is 1/a. According to the question, the reciprocal of 6.43, 3.56 and 8.51 are 1/6.43 and 1/3.56 and 1/8.51 respectively.

1/6.43 = 0.1555

2/3.56 = 2 * 1/3.56

= 2 * 0.2809

= 0.5618

1/8.51 = 0.1175

Taking the sum of the reciprocals;

1/6.43 +2/3.56 +1/8.51 = 0.1555 + 0.5618 + 0.1175

1/6.43 +2/3.56 +1/8.51 = 0.8348

Hence, the sum of 1/6.43, 2/3.56 and 1/8.51 is 0.8348
