Solve 12+1+11/2+1/8=

$$12 + 1 + 1 \frac { 1 } { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 8 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{117}{8}=14.625$$

Solution Steps

Add 12 and 1 to get 13.

$$13+\frac{1\times 2+1}{2}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Multiply 1 and 2 to get 2.

$$13+\frac{2+1}{2}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

$$13+\frac{3}{2}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Convert 13 to fraction \frac{26}{2}.

$$\frac{26}{2}+\frac{3}{2}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Since \frac{26}{2} and \frac{3}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{26+3}{2}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Add 26 and 3 to get 29.

$$\frac{29}{2}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Least common multiple of 2 and 8 is 8. Convert \frac{29}{2} and \frac{1}{8} to fractions with denominator 8.

$$\frac{116}{8}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Since \frac{116}{8} and \frac{1}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{116+1}{8}$$

Add 116 and 1 to get 117.

$$\frac{117}{8}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 ^ {2} \cdot 13}{2 ^ {3}} = 14\frac{5}{8} = 14.625$$
