Lol jk. I don't know the answer..I don't feel like doing math..D:

To solve the problem 3.5(.4)/2.6 + 2.6/.4, we will simplify each part of the equation step by step and then perform the arithmetic operations.

Step 1: Simplify the expression within parentheses:
Multiply 3.5 by 0.4: 3.5 * 0.4 = 1.4

The equation becomes: 1.4/2.6 + 2.6/.4

Step 2: Divide 1.4 by 2.6:
1.4 / 2.6 = 0.5384615384615384 (approximately)

The equation becomes: 0.5384615384615384 + 2.6/.4

Step 3: Divide 2.6 by 0.4:
2.6 / 0.4 = 6.5

The equation becomes: 0.5384615384615384 + 6.5

Step 4: Add the two terms together:
0.5384615384615384 + 6.5 = 7.038461538461538 (approximately)

Therefore, the solution to the equation 3.5(.4)/2.6 + 2.6/.4 is approximately 7.038461538461538.
