Solve 5/3*8+5/32

$$\frac{ 5 }{ 3 } \times 8+ \frac{ 5 }{ 3 } 2$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{50}{3}\approx 16.666666667$$

Solution Steps

Express \frac{5}{3}\times 8 as a single fraction.

$$\frac{5\times 8}{3}+\frac{5}{3}\times 2$$

Multiply 5 and 8 to get 40.

$$\frac{40}{3}+\frac{5}{3}\times 2$$

Express \frac{5}{3}\times 2 as a single fraction.

$$\frac{40}{3}+\frac{5\times 2}{3}$$

Multiply 5 and 2 to get 10.

$$\frac{40}{3}+\frac{10}{3}$$

Since \frac{40}{3} and \frac{10}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{40+10}{3}$$

Add 40 and 10 to get 50.

$$\frac{50}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 5 ^ {2}}{3} = 16\frac{2}{3} = 16.666666666666668$$
