Solve 25+4+1/4*1.5-1

$$25 + 4 + \frac { 1 } { 4 } \times 1.5 - 1$$

Evaluate

$$28.375$$

Solution Steps

Add 25 and 4 to get 29.

$$29+\frac{1}{4}\times 1.5-1$$

Convert decimal number 1.5 to fraction \frac{15}{10}. Reduce the fraction \frac{15}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$29+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{3}{2}-1$$

Multiply \frac{1}{4} times \frac{3}{2} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$29+\frac{1\times 3}{4\times 2}-1$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1\times 3}{4\times 2}.

$$29+\frac{3}{8}-1$$

Convert 29 to fraction \frac{232}{8}.

$$\frac{232}{8}+\frac{3}{8}-1$$

Since \frac{232}{8} and \frac{3}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{232+3}{8}-1$$

Add 232 and 3 to get 235.

$$\frac{235}{8}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{8}{8}.

$$\frac{235}{8}-\frac{8}{8}$$

Since \frac{235}{8} and \frac{8}{8} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{235-8}{8}$$

Subtract 8 from 235 to get 227.

$$\frac{227}{8}$$

Factor

$$\frac{227}{2 ^ {3}} = 28\frac{3}{8} = 28.375$$
