Solve 11/2*1/3+2

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

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{2}=2.5$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 2 to get 2.

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

Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

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

Multiply \frac{3}{2} times \frac{1}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

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

Cancel out 3 in both numerator and denominator.

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

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{4}{2}.

$$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{4}{2}$$

Since \frac{1}{2} and \frac{4}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+4}{2}$$

Add 1 and 4 to get 5.

$$\frac{5}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5}{2} = 2\frac{1}{2} = 2.5$$
