Solve 12/3+0.5*2/3

$$1 \frac { 2 } { 3 } + 0.5 \times \frac { 2 } { 3 }$$

Evaluate

$$2$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 3 to get 3.

$$\frac{3+2}{3}+0.5\times \frac{2}{3}$$

Add 3 and 2 to get 5.

$$\frac{5}{3}+0.5\times \frac{2}{3}$$

Convert decimal number 0.5 to fraction \frac{5}{10}. Reduce the fraction \frac{5}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$\frac{5}{3}+\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2}{3}$$

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

$$\frac{5}{3}+\frac{1\times 2}{2\times 3}$$

Cancel out 2 in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{5}{3}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Since \frac{5}{3} and \frac{1}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{5+1}{3}$$

Add 5 and 1 to get 6.

$$\frac{6}{3}$$

Divide 6 by 3 to get 2.

$$2$$

Factor

$$2$$
