Solve 9/1+1/2-1/2=?

$$\frac { 9 } { 1 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } - \frac { 1 } { 2 } = ?$$

Evaluate

$$9$$

Solution Steps

Anything divided by one gives itself.

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

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

$$\frac{18}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$$

Since \frac{18}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{18+1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$$

Add 18 and 1 to get 19.

$$\frac{19}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$$

Since \frac{19}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{19-1}{2}$$

Subtract 1 from 19 to get 18.

$$\frac{18}{2}$$

Divide 18 by 2 to get 9.

$$9$$

Factor

$$3^{2}$$
