Solve 13+1/2+30=

$$13 + \frac { 1 } { 2 } + 30 =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{87}{2}=43.5$$

Solution Steps

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

$$\frac{26}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+30$$

Since \frac{26}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{26+1}{2}+30$$

Add 26 and 1 to get 27.

$$\frac{27}{2}+30$$

Convert 30 to fraction \frac{60}{2}.

$$\frac{27}{2}+\frac{60}{2}$$

Since \frac{27}{2} and \frac{60}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{27+60}{2}$$

Add 27 and 60 to get 87.

$$\frac{87}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 \cdot 29}{2} = 43\frac{1}{2} = 43.5$$
