Solve 24/5+6/5+5/25

$$2 \frac{ 4 }{ 5 } + \frac{ 6 }{ 5 } + \frac{ 5 }{ 25 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{21}{5}=4.2$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 5 to get 10.

$$\frac{10+4}{5}+\frac{6}{5}+\frac{5}{25}$$

Add 10 and 4 to get 14.

$$\frac{14}{5}+\frac{6}{5}+\frac{5}{25}$$

Since \frac{14}{5} and \frac{6}{5} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{14+6}{5}+\frac{5}{25}$$

Add 14 and 6 to get 20.

$$\frac{20}{5}+\frac{5}{25}$$

Divide 20 by 5 to get 4.

$$4+\frac{5}{25}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{5}{25} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

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

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{20}{5}.

$$\frac{20}{5}+\frac{1}{5}$$

Since \frac{20}{5} and \frac{1}{5} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{20+1}{5}$$

Add 20 and 1 to get 21.

$$\frac{21}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 \cdot 7}{5} = 4\frac{1}{5} = 4.2$$
