Solve 2/32+5*3-1=

$$\frac{ 2 }{ 32 } +5 \times 3-1=$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{225}{16}=14.0625$$

Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{32} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{1}{16}+5\times 3-1$$

Multiply 5 and 3 to get 15.

$$\frac{1}{16}+15-1$$

Convert 15 to fraction \frac{240}{16}.

$$\frac{1}{16}+\frac{240}{16}-1$$

Since \frac{1}{16} and \frac{240}{16} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+240}{16}-1$$

Add 1 and 240 to get 241.

$$\frac{241}{16}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{16}{16}.

$$\frac{241}{16}-\frac{16}{16}$$

Since \frac{241}{16} and \frac{16}{16} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{241-16}{16}$$

Subtract 16 from 241 to get 225.

$$\frac{225}{16}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 ^ {2} \cdot 5 ^ {2}}{2 ^ {4}} = 14\frac{1}{16} = 14.0625$$
