Solve 1.5*4div12+1.5*1.2=

$$1.5 \times 4 \div 12 + 1.5 \times 1.2 =$$

Evaluate

$$2.3$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1.5 and 4 to get 6.

$$\frac{6}{12}+1.5\times 1.2$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 6.

$$\frac{1}{2}+1.5\times 1.2$$

Multiply 1.5 and 1.2 to get 1.8.

$$\frac{1}{2}+1.8$$

Convert decimal number 1.8 to fraction \frac{18}{10}. Reduce the fraction \frac{18}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{9}{5}$$

Least common multiple of 2 and 5 is 10. Convert \frac{1}{2} and \frac{9}{5} to fractions with denominator 10.

$$\frac{5}{10}+\frac{18}{10}$$

Since \frac{5}{10} and \frac{18}{10} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{5+18}{10}$$

Add 5 and 18 to get 23.

$$\frac{23}{10}$$

Factor

$$\frac{23}{2 \cdot 5} = 2\frac{3}{10} = 2.3$$
