Solve 11/2+31/2

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

Evaluate

$$5$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 2 to get 2.

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

Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

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

Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.

$$\frac{3}{2}+\frac{6+1}{2}$$

Add 6 and 1 to get 7.

$$\frac{3}{2}+\frac{7}{2}$$

Since \frac{3}{2} and \frac{7}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{3+7}{2}$$

Add 3 and 7 to get 10.

$$\frac{10}{2}$$

Divide 10 by 2 to get 5.

$$5$$

Factor

$$5$$
