Solve 25/4+1/2

$$2 \frac { 5 } { 4 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{15}{4}=3.75$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.

$$\frac{8+5}{4}+\frac{1}{2}$$

Add 8 and 5 to get 13.

$$\frac{13}{4}+\frac{1}{2}$$

Least common multiple of 4 and 2 is 4. Convert \frac{13}{4} and \frac{1}{2} to fractions with denominator 4.

$$\frac{13}{4}+\frac{2}{4}$$

Since \frac{13}{4} and \frac{2}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{13+2}{4}$$

Add 13 and 2 to get 15.

$$\frac{15}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 \cdot 5}{2 ^ {2}} = 3\frac{3}{4} = 3.75$$
