Simplify the following:

2+1/4+8/7×3/2

8/7×3/2 = (8×3)/(7×2):

2+1/4+(8×3)/(7×2)

8/2 = (2×4)/2 = 4:

2+1/4+(4×3)/7

4×3 = 12:

2+1/4+12/7

Put 2+1/4+12/7 over the common denominator 28. 2+1/4+12/7 = (28×2)/28+7/28+(4×12)/28:

(28×2)/28+7/28+(4×12)/28

28×2 = 56:

56/28+7/28+(4×12)/28

4×12 = 48:

56/28+7/28+48/28

56/28+7/28+48/28 = (56+7+48)/28:

(56+7+48)/28

Answer: |111/28=3 27/28
