Solve 35/13+162/13

$$3 \frac{ 5 }{ 13 } +16 \frac{ 2 }{ 13 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{254}{13}\approx 19.538461538$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 3 and 13 to get 39.

$$\frac{39+5}{13}+\frac{16\times 13+2}{13}$$

Add 39 and 5 to get 44.

$$\frac{44}{13}+\frac{16\times 13+2}{13}$$

Multiply 16 and 13 to get 208.

$$\frac{44}{13}+\frac{208+2}{13}$$

Add 208 and 2 to get 210.

$$\frac{44}{13}+\frac{210}{13}$$

Since \frac{44}{13} and \frac{210}{13} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{44+210}{13}$$

Add 44 and 210 to get 254.

$$\frac{254}{13}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 127}{13} = 19\frac{7}{13} = 19.53846153846154$$
