(-8+126+26)/63

(-8+132)/63

124/63

Answer 2

Answer : 1.968253

Step by step explanation :

$( \frac{4}{9} ) \times ( \frac{ - 2}{7} ) + 2 + ( \frac{2}{7} ) \times ( \frac{1}{3} )$

Multiplying a positive and a negative equals a negative. To multiply the fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators separately.

$= > - \frac{8}{63} + 2 + \frac{2}{21}$

Calculate the sum. Write all numerators above the least common denominator 63.

$= > \frac{ - 8 + 126 + 6}{63}$

Calculate the sum or difference.

$= > \frac{124}{63}$

$= > 1 \frac{61}{63}$
