Solve 1+25-1/2+1

$$1 + 25 - 1 / 2 + 1$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{53}{2}=26.5$$

Solution Steps

Add 1 and 25 to get 26.

$$26-\frac{1}{2}+1$$

Convert 26 to fraction \frac{52}{2}.

$$\frac{52}{2}-\frac{1}{2}+1$$

Since \frac{52}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{52-1}{2}+1$$

Subtract 1 from 52 to get 51.

$$\frac{51}{2}+1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.

$$\frac{51}{2}+\frac{2}{2}$$

Since \frac{51}{2} and \frac{2}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{51+2}{2}$$

Add 51 and 2 to get 53.

$$\frac{53}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{53}{2} = 26\frac{1}{2} = 26.5$$
