Solve =2*3/4+2*16-1

$$= \frac { 2 \times 3 } { 4 } + 2 \times 16 - 1$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{65}{2}=32.5$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.

$$\frac{6}{4}+2\times 16-1$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{3}{2}+2\times 16-1$$

Multiply 2 and 16 to get 32.

$$\frac{3}{2}+32-1$$

Convert 32 to fraction \frac{64}{2}.

$$\frac{3}{2}+\frac{64}{2}-1$$

Since \frac{3}{2} and \frac{64}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{3+64}{2}-1$$

Add 3 and 64 to get 67.

$$\frac{67}{2}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.

$$\frac{67}{2}-\frac{2}{2}$$

Since \frac{67}{2} and \frac{2}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{67-2}{2}$$

Subtract 2 from 67 to get 65.

$$\frac{65}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5 \cdot 13}{2} = 32\frac{1}{2} = 32.5$$
