Step by Step Solution

In order to solve problem, you must evaluate (n₀ * n₁) / (n₀ + n₂).

n₀ =	1500
n₁ =	17
n₂ =	320

(n₀ * n₁) / (n₀ + n₂)
Evaluate n₀ * n₁ = 25500
25500 / (n₀ + n₂)
Evaluate n₀ + n₂ = 1820
25500 / 1820
Evaluate 25500 / 1820 = 14.010989010989
14.010989010989
The answer to the problem and the result of (n₀ * n₁) / (n₀ + n₂) is 14.010989010989
