Solve {l}{14*(3+1)}{div6+1/2}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { 14 \times ( 3 + 1 ) } \\ { \div 6 + \frac { 1 } { 2 } } \end{array} \right.$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{59}{6}\approx 9.833333333$$

Solution Steps

Add 3 and 1 to get 4.

$$\frac{14\times 4}{6}+\frac{1}{2}$$

Multiply 14 and 4 to get 56.

$$\frac{56}{6}+\frac{1}{2}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{56}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{28}{3}+\frac{1}{2}$$

Least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6. Convert \frac{28}{3} and \frac{1}{2} to fractions with denominator 6.

$$\frac{56}{6}+\frac{3}{6}$$

Since \frac{56}{6} and \frac{3}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{56+3}{6}$$

Add 56 and 3 to get 59.

$$\frac{59}{6}$$

Factor

$$\frac{59}{2 \cdot 3} = 9\frac{5}{6} = 9.833333333333334$$
