Evaluating the Expression: (2 x 15/3) (2/3)²
In this article, we will evaluate the expression (2 x 15/3) (2/3)²
and simplify it to its simplest form.
Evaluating the Expression
Let's break down the expression into two parts:
(2 x 15/3)
To evaluate this part, we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS):
- Multiply 2 and 15: 2 x 15 = 30
- Divide 30 by 3: 30 ÷ 3 = 10
So, (2 x 15/3) = 10
.
(2/3)²
To evaluate this part, we need to raise the fraction 2/3
to the power of 2:
(2/3)² = (2²)/(3²) = 4/9
Multiplying the Two Parts
Now that we have evaluated both parts, we can multiply them together:
10 × (4/9) = 40/9
Therefore, the final answer is:
(2 x 15/3) (2/3)² = 40/9
In conclusion, we have successfully evaluated the expression (2 x 15/3) (2/3)²
and simplified it to its simplest form, which is 40/9
