Solve 5+1/2+1/2+2

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

Evaluate

$$8$$

Solution Steps

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{10}{2}.

$$\frac{10}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+2$$

Since \frac{10}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{10+1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+2$$

Add 10 and 1 to get 11.

$$\frac{11}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+2$$

Since \frac{11}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{11+1}{2}+2$$

Add 11 and 1 to get 12.

$$\frac{12}{2}+2$$

Divide 12 by 2 to get 6.

$$6+2$$

Add 6 and 2 to get 8.

$$8$$

Factor

$$2^{3}$$
