Step-by-Step Solution

Let's first address the expression in parentheses and convert it to a fraction:

(9×(4:(18×5)))=(9×418×5) (9\times(4:(18\times5)))=(9\times\frac{4}{18\times5})

Now we'll get the expression:

13:(9×418×5)= 13:(9\times\frac{4}{18\times5})=

We'll add the 9 to the numerator of the fraction in the multiplication expression, and we'll separate the 18 into a smaller multiplication expression:

13:(9×42×9×5)= 13:(\frac{9\times4}{2\times9\times5})=

Let's reduce the 9 in both numerator and denominator:

13:(42×5)= 13:(\frac{4}{2\times5})=

Let's factor the numerator into a multiplication expression:

13:(2×22×5)= 13:(\frac{2\times2}{2\times5})=

Let's reduce the 2 in both numerator and denominator:

13:(25)= 13:(\frac{2}{5})=

We'll write the fraction in inverse form so we can convert the expression to a multiplication expression:

13×52=13×52=652 13\times\frac{5}{2}=\frac{13\times5}{2}=\frac{65}{2}

Let's factor the numerator into an addition expression:

652=60+52 \frac{65}{2}=\frac{60+5}{2}

Let's separate it into an addition of fractions:

602+52=30+2.5=32.5 \frac{60}{2}+\frac{5}{2}=30+2.5=32.5

Answer

32.5 32.5
