Solve 35/2+3/6-1/4=

$$\frac{ 35 }{ 2 } + \frac{ 3 }{ 6 } - \frac{ 1 }{ 4 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{71}{4}=17.75$$

Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$\frac{35}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Since \frac{35}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{35+1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Add 35 and 1 to get 36.

$$\frac{36}{2}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Divide 36 by 2 to get 18.

$$18-\frac{1}{4}$$

Convert 18 to fraction \frac{72}{4}.

$$\frac{72}{4}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Since \frac{72}{4} and \frac{1}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{72-1}{4}$$

Subtract 1 from 72 to get 71.

$$\frac{71}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{71}{2 ^ {2}} = 17\frac{3}{4} = 17.75$$
