$$\frac{ 3 }{ 11 } \times ( \frac{ 1 }{ 5 } +2)$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{3}{5}=0.6$$

Solution Steps

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

$$\frac{3}{11}\left(\frac{1}{5}+\frac{10}{5}\right)$$

Since \frac{1}{5} and \frac{10}{5} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{3}{11}\times \frac{1+10}{5}$$

Add 1 and 10 to get 11.

$$\frac{3}{11}\times \frac{11}{5}$$

Multiply \frac{3}{11} times \frac{11}{5} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{3\times 11}{11\times 5}$$

Cancel out 11 in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{3}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3}{5} = 0.6$$
