    Solution

    The numerator and denominator can be recognized as the formulas for the sum and product of cubes and squares of three numbers, respectively: Numerator: (aΒ³ + bΒ³ + cΒ³ βˆ’ 3abc)
    Denominator: (a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc βˆ’ ca) By the identity: (aΒ³ + bΒ³ + cΒ³ βˆ’ 3abc) = (a + b + c) (a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc βˆ’ ca) a + b + c = 8.3 + 9.2 + 6.1 = 23.6
