Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
3 - \(\frac{1}{3}\) - (\(\frac{5}{4}\) x \(\frac{2}{3}\)) + 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
= \(\frac{10}{3}\) - \(\frac{5}{6}\) + \(\frac{7}{5}\)
= \(\frac{100 - 25 + 42}{30}\)
= \(\frac{117}{30}\)
= 3.9
\(\approx\) 4
3 - \(\frac{1}{3}\) - (\(\frac{5}{4}\) x \(\frac{2}{3}\)) + 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
= \(\frac{10}{3}\) - \(\frac{5}{6}\) + \(\frac{7}{5}\)
= \(\frac{100 - 25 + 42}{30}\)
= \(\frac{117}{30}\)
= 3.9
\(\approx\) 4
