Solve 1/5+frac{1{4}}

$$\frac{ 1 }{ 5+ \frac{ 1 }{ 4 } }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{4}{21}\approx 0.19047619$$

Solution Steps

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{20}{4}.

$$\frac{1}{\frac{20}{4}+\frac{1}{4}}$$

Since \frac{20}{4} and \frac{1}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1}{\frac{20+1}{4}}$$

Add 20 and 1 to get 21.

$$\frac{1}{\frac{21}{4}}$$

Divide 1 by \frac{21}{4} by multiplying 1 by the reciprocal of \frac{21}{4}.

$$1\times \frac{4}{21}$$

Multiply 1 and \frac{4}{21} to get \frac{4}{21}.

$$\frac{4}{21}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2}}{3 \cdot 7} = 0.19047619047619047$$
