Solve 12/6+8/56/1

$$\frac { 12 } { 6 } + \frac { 8 } { 5 } \frac { 6 } { 1 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{58}{5}=11.6$$

Solution Steps

Divide 12 by 6 to get 2.

$$2+\frac{8}{5}\times \frac{6}{1}$$

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$2+\frac{8}{5}\times 6$$

Express \frac{8}{5}\times 6 as a single fraction.

$$2+\frac{8\times 6}{5}$$

Multiply 8 and 6 to get 48.

$$2+\frac{48}{5}$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{10}{5}.

$$\frac{10}{5}+\frac{48}{5}$$

Since \frac{10}{5} and \frac{48}{5} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{10+48}{5}$$

Add 10 and 48 to get 58.

$$\frac{58}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 29}{5} = 11\frac{3}{5} = 11.6$$
