Given:

Expression: (0.72 + (0.4 + 0.2) × 0.7 + 0.4 × 0.2) / (0.7 + 0.4)

Formula used:

Simplify the numerator first and then divide by the denominator.

Calculation:

Numerator: 0.72 + (0.4 + 0.2) × 0.7 + 0.4 × 0.2

= 0.49 + 0.6 × 0.7 + 0.08

= 0.49 + 0.42 + 0.08

= 0.99

Denominator: 0.7 + 0.4

= 1.1

Now, divide the numerator by the denominator:

0.99 / 1.1

= 0.9

∴ The simplified value of the expression is 0.9.
