Question: User: (2) (0.95 \times 0.76) / (0.95 + 0.76)
1. **State the problem:** Calculate the value of the expression $$ (2) \times \frac{0.95 \times 0.76}{0.95 + 0.76} $$.
2. **Write the formula:** The expression involves multiplication and division of decimals. The numerator is the product of $0.95$ and $0.76$, and the denominator is the sum of $0.95$ and $0.76$, all multiplied by $2$.
3. **Calculate the numerator:**
$$ 0.95 \times 0.76 = 0.722 $$
4. **Calculate the denominator:**
$$ 0.95 + 0.76 = 1.71 $$
5. **Form the fraction:**
$$ \frac{0.722}{1.71} $$
6. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$ \frac{0.722}{1.71} = \frac{\cancel{0.722}}{\cancel{1.71}} \approx 0.4222 $$
7. **Multiply by 2:**
$$ 2 \times 0.4222 = 0.8444 $$
**Final answer:**
$$ 0.8444 $$
