$$\frac { 1 } { 2 } + 6 + 9$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{31}{2}=15.5$$

Solution Steps

Convert 6 to fraction \frac{12}{2}.

$$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{12}{2}+9$$

Since \frac{1}{2} and \frac{12}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+12}{2}+9$$

Add 1 and 12 to get 13.

$$\frac{13}{2}+9$$

Convert 9 to fraction \frac{18}{2}.

$$\frac{13}{2}+\frac{18}{2}$$

Since \frac{13}{2} and \frac{18}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{13+18}{2}$$

Add 13 and 18 to get 31.

$$\frac{31}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{31}{2} = 15\frac{1}{2} = 15.5$$
