Solve 43/5+16/10

$$4 \frac { 3 } { 5 } + 1 \frac { 6 } { 10 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{31}{5}=6.2$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and 5 to get 20.

$$\frac{20+3}{5}+\frac{1\times 10+6}{10}$$

Add 20 and 3 to get 23.

$$\frac{23}{5}+\frac{1\times 10+6}{10}$$

Multiply 1 and 10 to get 10.

$$\frac{23}{5}+\frac{10+6}{10}$$

Add 10 and 6 to get 16.

$$\frac{23}{5}+\frac{16}{10}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{16}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{23}{5}+\frac{8}{5}$$

Since \frac{23}{5} and \frac{8}{5} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{23+8}{5}$$

Add 23 and 8 to get 31.

$$\frac{31}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{31}{5} = 6\frac{1}{5} = 6.2$$
