12:(31×(24:(15×3))=
According to the order of operations rules, we'll first solve the expression in parentheses:
Let's write the division problem as a fraction:
Since this is a fraction divided by a fraction, we'll combine everything into one fraction:
Let's break down 24 into a multiplication of:
And we'll get in the fraction's numerator:
We'll reduce the 3 in both numerator and denominator and get the expression:
We'll swap between numerator and denominator, so we get a multiplication problem where the denominator is 8:
We'll combine the 12 with the fraction's numerator since this is just a multiplication operation:
Let's break down the 12 in the numerator and the 8 in the denominator into multiplication problems:
We'll reduce the 4 in both numerator and denominator:
Let's solve the expression in the numerator from left to right:
We'll get the fraction:
Let's break down the fraction into an addition of fractions:
Let's solve both fractions:
Now we'll get the expression:
