Solve 21/1+3/8

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

Evaluate

$$\frac{27}{8}=3.375$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 1 to get 2.

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

Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

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

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$3+\frac{3}{8}$$

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{24}{8}.

$$\frac{24}{8}+\frac{3}{8}$$

Since \frac{24}{8} and \frac{3}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{24+3}{8}$$

Add 24 and 3 to get 27.

$$\frac{27}{8}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 ^ {3}}{2 ^ {3}} = 3\frac{3}{8} = 3.375$$
