Solve 3-1/2+1/2=

$$3 - \frac { 1 } { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } =$$

Evaluate

$$3$$

Solution Steps

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{6}{2}.

$$\frac{6}{2}-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}$$

Since \frac{6}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{6-1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}$$

Subtract 1 from 6 to get 5.

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

Since \frac{5}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

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

Add 5 and 1 to get 6.

$$\frac{6}{2}$$

Divide 6 by 2 to get 3.

$$3$$

Factor
