Solve 41/2*1/8+3.5*1/8

$$4 \frac { 1 } { 2 } \times \frac { 1 } { 8 } + 3.5 \times \frac { 1 } { 8 }$$

Evaluate

$$1$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and 2 to get 8.

$$\frac{8+1}{2}\times \frac{1}{8}+3.5\times \frac{1}{8}$$

Add 8 and 1 to get 9.

$$\frac{9}{2}\times \frac{1}{8}+3.5\times \frac{1}{8}$$

Multiply \frac{9}{2} times \frac{1}{8} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{9\times 1}{2\times 8}+3.5\times \frac{1}{8}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{9\times 1}{2\times 8}.

$$\frac{9}{16}+3.5\times \frac{1}{8}$$

Convert decimal number 3.5 to fraction \frac{35}{10}. Reduce the fraction \frac{35}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$\frac{9}{16}+\frac{7}{2}\times \frac{1}{8}$$

Multiply \frac{7}{2} times \frac{1}{8} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{9}{16}+\frac{7\times 1}{2\times 8}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{7\times 1}{2\times 8}.

$$\frac{9}{16}+\frac{7}{16}$$

Since \frac{9}{16} and \frac{7}{16} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{9+7}{16}$$

Add 9 and 7 to get 16.

$$\frac{16}{16}$$

Divide 16 by 16 to get 1.

$$1$$

Factor
