Solve 1/2*1/2+1/2

$$\frac { 1 } { 2 } \times \frac { 1 } { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{3}{4}=0.75$$

Solution Steps

Multiply \frac{1}{2} times \frac{1}{2} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{1\times 1}{2\times 2}+\frac{1}{2}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1\times 1}{2\times 2}.

$$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}$$

Least common multiple of 4 and 2 is 4. Convert \frac{1}{4} and \frac{1}{2} to fractions with denominator 4.

$$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}$$

Since \frac{1}{4} and \frac{2}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+2}{4}$$

Add 1 and 2 to get 3.

$$\frac{3}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3}{2 ^ {2}} = 0.75$$
