Solve 42/5+62/5

$$4 \frac{ 2 }{ 5 } +6 \frac{ 2 }{ 5 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{54}{5}=10.8$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and 5 to get 20.

$$\frac{20+2}{5}+\frac{6\times 5+2}{5}$$

Add 20 and 2 to get 22.

$$\frac{22}{5}+\frac{6\times 5+2}{5}$$

Multiply 6 and 5 to get 30.

$$\frac{22}{5}+\frac{30+2}{5}$$

Add 30 and 2 to get 32.

$$\frac{22}{5}+\frac{32}{5}$$

Since \frac{22}{5} and \frac{32}{5} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{22+32}{5}$$

Add 22 and 32 to get 54.

$$\frac{54}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 3 ^ {3}}{5} = 10\frac{4}{5} = 10.8$$
