I am given the equation and this is my code but it keeps telling me that it is returning the wrong value.
b=(1/7)+((72/13)^2)/(sqrt((125/2)-(25/3)))

The expression and the code match, so you are good.
How is the test case in Grader comparing the value with the output?

Variable b has an incorrect value.
This is all it tells me, I believe she just has a value set that she got from running it. Thank you for looking I will talk to her.

Ran in:
Of course it is wrong. Why did you write 72/13? Why 25/3?
I think you don't understand that
8(1/3) is NOT the same thing as
8 + 1/3
Similarly, you see essentially
5 (7/13)
and you are trying to add fractions!
b=(1/7)+((5*7/13)^2)/(sqrt((125/2)-8*1/3))
b = 1.0799
Do you see what you are doing? When you have an expression like that, you should not assume an implicit addition there. I think you are confused because some people will write
5 1/2
as meaning 5 PLUS 1/2, and thus effectively 5.5.

Also be careful when you guys use WolframAlpha.
Case 1: Without space
Case 2: With space

Even I took them as mixed fractions and responded accordingly. I was going to ask for a clarification but in the mean time John had already answered the question.
