Solve 1*(2/3+5/2)=

$$1 \times ( \frac { 2 } { 3 } + \frac { 5 } { 2 } ) =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{19}{6}\approx 3.166666667$$

Solution Steps

Least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6. Convert \frac{2}{3} and \frac{5}{2} to fractions with denominator 6.

$$1\left(\frac{4}{6}+\frac{15}{6}\right)$$

Since \frac{4}{6} and \frac{15}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$1\times \frac{4+15}{6}$$

Add 4 and 15 to get 19.

$$1\times \frac{19}{6}$$

Multiply 1 and \frac{19}{6} to get \frac{19}{6}.

$$\frac{19}{6}$$

Factor

$$\frac{19}{2 \cdot 3} = 3\frac{1}{6} = 3.1666666666666665$$
