Answer

We have:

715\dfrac{7}{15} of (23+712)\Big(\dfrac{2}{3} + \dfrac{7}{12}\Big) ÷ (5635)\Big(\dfrac{5}{6}-\dfrac{3}{5}\Big)

According to BODMAS rule, we simplify brackets first

=715 of (8+712)÷(5635)=715 of (1512)÷(5635)=715 of 512÷(5635)[First bracket simplified]=715 of 1512÷(251830)=715 of 1512÷730[Second bracket simplified]=715×1512÷730=712÷730[Of simplified]=712×307[Reciprocal of 730 is 307]=112×301[Dividing 7 and 7 by 7]=12×51[Dividing 30 and 12 by 6]=52[Division simplified]=212\begin{array}{ll} = \dfrac{7}{15}\text{ of }\Big(\dfrac{8 + 7}{12}\Big) ÷ \Big(\dfrac{5}{6}-\dfrac{3}{5}\Big) \\ = \dfrac{7}{15}\text{ of } \Big(\dfrac{15}{12}\Big) ÷ \Big(\dfrac{5}{6}-\dfrac{3}{5}\Big) \\ = \dfrac{7}{15}\text{ of } \dfrac{5}{12} ÷ \Big(\dfrac{5}{6}-\dfrac{3}{5}\Big) & \text{[First bracket simplified]} \\ = \dfrac{7}{15}\text{ of } \dfrac{15}{12} ÷ \Big(\dfrac{25 - 18}{30}\Big) \\ = \dfrac{7}{15}\text{ of } \dfrac{15}{12} ÷ \dfrac{7}{30} & \text{[Second bracket simplified]} \\ = \dfrac{7}{15} \times \dfrac{15}{12} ÷ \dfrac{7}{30} \\ = \dfrac{7}{12} ÷ \dfrac{7}{30} & \text{[Of simplified]} \\ = \dfrac{7}{12} \times \dfrac{30}{7} & [\text{Reciprocal of } \dfrac{7}{30} \text{ is } \dfrac{30}{7}] \\ = \dfrac{1}{12} \times \dfrac{30}{1} & \text{[Dividing 7 and 7 by 7]} \\ = \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{5}{1} & \text{[Dividing 30 and 12 by 6]} \\ = \dfrac{5}{2} & \text{[Division simplified]} \\ = 2\dfrac{1}{2} \end{array}

∴ The answer is 2122\dfrac{1}{2}
