#77 1/2 or 73 1/2#

Explanation:

Count the number of terms first. Then simplify within each term until you have a single answer. They will be added or subtracted in the last line.

The question is not clearly written ... Here are two different ways of interpreting it.

#color(red)(49)+(color(lime)(1xx3))/(color(magenta)(2/3))+color(blue)(24 )" "ORcolor(white)(xxxxxx)color(red)(49)+color(lime)(1)xxcolor(magenta)((3/2)/3 )+color(blue)(24)#

#color(red)(49)+(color(lime)(1xx3))div(color(magenta)(2/3))+color(blue)(24 ) " OR"=color(red)(49)+color(lime)(1)xxcolor(magenta)((3/2)div3/1) +color(blue)(24)#

#color(red)(49)+color(lime)(3) color(magenta)(xx 3/2)+color(blue)(24 )" "ORcolor(white)(xxxxxx)=color(red)(49)+color(lime)(1)xxcolor(magenta)((cancel3/2)xx1/cancel3) +color(blue)(24)#

=#color(red)(49)+4 1/2+color(blue)(24 )" "ORcolor(white)(xxxxxxxxx)"=color(red)(49)+color(magenta)(1/2) +color(blue)(24)#

=#77 1/2color(white)(xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)ORcolor(white)(xxxxxxxxx)=73 1/2#
