Solve 11/2+y/8

$$1 \frac { 1 } { 2 } + \frac { y } { 8 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{y}{8}+\frac{3}{2}$$

Short Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 2 to get 2.

$$\frac{2+1}{2}+\frac{y}{8}$$

Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

$$\frac{3}{2}+\frac{y}{8}$$

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 2 and 8 is 8. Multiply \frac{3}{2} times \frac{4}{4}.

$$\frac{3\times 4}{8}+\frac{y}{8}$$

Since \frac{3\times 4}{8} and \frac{y}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{3\times 4+y}{8}$$

Do the multiplications in 3\times 4+y.

$$\frac{12+y}{8}$$

Expand

$$\frac{y}{8}+\frac{3}{2}$$
