Solve 2*1/4+4*12/4

$$2 \times \frac { 1 } { 4 } + 4 \times \frac { 12 } { 4 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{25}{2}=12.5$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and \frac{1}{4} to get \frac{2}{4}.

$$\frac{2}{4}+4\times \frac{12}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{1}{2}+4\times \frac{12}{4}$$

Divide 12 by 4 to get 3.

$$\frac{1}{2}+4\times 3$$

Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.

$$\frac{1}{2}+12$$

Convert 12 to fraction \frac{24}{2}.

$$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{24}{2}$$

Since \frac{1}{2} and \frac{24}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+24}{2}$$

Add 1 and 24 to get 25.

$$\frac{25}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5 ^ {2}}{2} = 12\frac{1}{2} = 12.5$$
