Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are given the expression 7.5(13)2 7.5 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^2 .
2. We need to simplify this expression by performing arithmetic operations.

STEP 2

1. Simplify the exponent.
2. Multiply the simplified exponent by 7.5.

STEP 3

Calculate the square of 13\frac{1}{3}.
(13)2=13×13=19\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{9}

STEP 4

Multiply 7.5 7.5 by the result from Step 1.
7.519=7.597.5 \cdot \frac{1}{9} = \frac{7.5}{9}

STEP 5

Simplify 7.59\frac{7.5}{9}.
Convert 7.5 7.5 to a fraction:
7.5=75107.5 = \frac{75}{10}
Now simplify 7590\frac{75}{90}:
7590=56\frac{75}{90} = \frac{5}{6}
The simplified expression is:
56\boxed{\frac{5}{6}}
