Solve 5/1+(2/3)+2/1+(1/3)=

$$\frac { 5 } { 1 } + ( \frac { 2 } { 3 } ) + \frac { 2 } { 1 } + ( \frac { 1 } { 3 } ) =$$

Evaluate

$$8$$

Solution Steps

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$5+\frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{1}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{15}{3}.

$$\frac{15}{3}+\frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{1}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Since \frac{15}{3} and \frac{2}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{15+2}{3}+\frac{2}{1}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Add 15 and 2 to get 17.

$$\frac{17}{3}+\frac{2}{1}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$\frac{17}{3}+2+\frac{1}{3}$$

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

$$\frac{17}{3}+\frac{6}{3}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Since \frac{17}{3} and \frac{6}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{17+6}{3}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Add 17 and 6 to get 23.

$$\frac{23}{3}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Since \frac{23}{3} and \frac{1}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{23+1}{3}$$

Add 23 and 1 to get 24.

$$\frac{24}{3}$$

Divide 24 by 3 to get 8.

$$8$$

Factor

$$2^{3}$$
