If r = 24 and t = 6, what is the value of the following expression? r + 42 : t · 3

79/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate r + 42 / (t 3) where r = 24 and t = 6:

r + 42 / (3 t) = 42 / (6*3) + 24

42/6 = (6*7) / 6 = 7:

7/3 + 24

Put 7/3 + 24 over the common denominator 3. 7/3 + 24 = (3*24) / 3 + 7/3:

(3*24) / 3 + 7/3

3*24 = 72:

72/3 + 7/3

72/3 + 7/3 = (72 + 7) / 3:

(72 + 7) / 3

72 + 7 = 79:

Answer: 79/3
