Hey !

I'm studying for the GMAT and I'm struggling on a calcul. I would like to know what reasoning or the method you use.

The question is pretty easy to understand but I have to calculate this without using a calculator :

(254 x 61,2 + 270 x 83,87) / (254 + 270)

...and we have 1min20 to answer it

Start by splitting 83,87 into 61,2+22,67

#

Then split the fraction into two pieces where one of the fractions has (254+270) in both the numerator and denominator.
