Solve 21/8+02/8

$$2 \frac { 1 } { 8 } + 0 \frac { 2 } { 8 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{19}{8}=2.375$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 8 to get 16.

$$\frac{16+1}{8}+\frac{0\times 8+2}{8}$$

Add 16 and 1 to get 17.

$$\frac{17}{8}+\frac{0\times 8+2}{8}$$

Multiply 0 and 8 to get 0.

$$\frac{17}{8}+\frac{0+2}{8}$$

Add 0 and 2 to get 2.

$$\frac{17}{8}+\frac{2}{8}$$

Since \frac{17}{8} and \frac{2}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{17+2}{8}$$

Add 17 and 2 to get 19.

$$\frac{19}{8}$$

Factor

$$\frac{19}{2 ^ {3}} = 2\frac{3}{8} = 2.375$$
