Solve 178+(18*3div6^2)=

$$178 + ( 18 \times 3 \div 6 ^ { 2 } ) =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{359}{2}=179.5$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 18 and 3 to get 54.

$$178+\frac{54}{6^{2}}$$

Calculate 6 to the power of 2 and get 36.

$$178+\frac{54}{36}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{54}{36} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 18.

$$178+\frac{3}{2}$$

Convert 178 to fraction \frac{356}{2}.

$$\frac{356}{2}+\frac{3}{2}$$

Since \frac{356}{2} and \frac{3}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{356+3}{2}$$

Add 356 and 3 to get 359.

$$\frac{359}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{359}{2} = 179\frac{1}{2} = 179.5$$
