How do you insert a pair of brackets to make each statement true $\frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{2}{5} \div \frac{1}{6} = 3 \frac{9}{10}$ $1/2 + 2/3 - 1/4 * 2/5 ÷ 1/6 = 3 9/10$ ?

it is in second and third term

so once we put the bracket in the second and third term we will be able to solve the equation which will result in the fraction we require

$\frac{1}{2} + ⎛ ⎜ ⎝ \frac{\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{4} . (\frac{2}{5})}{\frac{1}{6}} ⎞ ⎟ ⎠ = \frac{39}{10}$ $1/2+((2/3-1/4.(2/5))/(1/6))=39/10$

i will be glad to hear about any mistake

Cheerio!
