1

Solution steps

(2 + 1 \frac{1}{2}) - 2 \frac{1}{2}

Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:

2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}

= (2 + 1 \frac{1}{2}) - \frac{5}{2}

Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:

1 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}

= (2 + \frac{3}{2}) - \frac{5}{2}

Follow the PEMDAS order of operations

Calculate within parentheses

(2 + \frac{3}{2}) : \frac{7}{2}

= \frac{7}{2} - \frac{5}{2}

Add and subtract (left to right)

\frac{7}{2} - \frac{5}{2} : 1

= 1

(1 + 2 \times 3)^{2} \div 7

2^{7} + 2^{6} + 2^{5} + 2^{4} + 2^{3} + 2^{2}

\frac{1}{2} (4)^{1}

(\frac{3}{9} \div \frac{3}{1}) \frac{4}{1}

5 (\frac{1}{3}) - (- 2)
