Solve 1/2+3-5/5=

$$\frac { 1 } { 2 } + 3 - 5 / 5 =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{2}=2.5$$

Solution Steps

Divide 5 by 5 to get 1.

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

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{6}{2}.

$$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{6}{2}-1$$

Since \frac{1}{2} and \frac{6}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+6}{2}-1$$

Add 1 and 6 to get 7.

$$\frac{7}{2}-1$$

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

$$\frac{7}{2}-\frac{2}{2}$$

Since \frac{7}{2} and \frac{2}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{7-2}{2}$$

Subtract 2 from 7 to get 5.

$$\frac{5}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5}{2} = 2\frac{1}{2} = 2.5$$
