Answer

We have:

(234+156)\Big(2\dfrac{3}{4} + 1\dfrac{5}{6}\Big) ÷ 2152\dfrac{1}{5} of 3133\dfrac{1}{3}

= (114+116)\Big(\dfrac{11}{4} + \dfrac{11}{6}\Big) ÷ 115\dfrac{11}{5} of 103\dfrac{10}{3} [Converting mixed to improper fraction]

According to BODMAS rule, we simplify brackets first

=(33+2212)÷115 of 103=5512÷115 of 103[Brackets simplified]=5512÷115×103=5512÷11015=5512÷223[Of simplified]=5512×322[Reciprocal of 223 is 322]=512×32[Dividing 55 and 22 by 11]=1524=58[Division simplified]\begin{array}{ll} = \Big(\dfrac{33 + 22}{12}\Big) ÷ \dfrac{11}{5} \text{ of } \dfrac{10}{3} \\ = \dfrac{55}{12} ÷ \dfrac{11}{5} \text{ of } \dfrac{10}{3} & \text{[Brackets simplified]} \\ = \dfrac{55}{12} ÷ \dfrac{11}{5} \times \dfrac{10}{3} \\ = \dfrac{55}{12} ÷ \dfrac{110}{15} \\ = \dfrac{55}{12} ÷ \dfrac{22}{3} & \text{[Of simplified]} \\ = \dfrac{55}{12} \times \dfrac{3}{22} & [\text{Reciprocal of } \dfrac{22}{3} \text{ is } \dfrac{3}{22}] \\ = \dfrac{5}{12} \times \dfrac{3}{2} & \text{[Dividing 55 and 22 by 11]} \\ = \dfrac{15}{24} = \dfrac{5}{8} & \text{[Division simplified]} \end{array}

∴ The answer is 58\dfrac{5}{8}
