Solve 59/5+365/2

$$5 \frac { 9 } { 5 } + 36 \frac { 5 } { 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{453}{10}=45.3$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 5 and 5 to get 25.

$$\frac{25+9}{5}+\frac{36\times 2+5}{2}$$

Add 25 and 9 to get 34.

$$\frac{34}{5}+\frac{36\times 2+5}{2}$$

Multiply 36 and 2 to get 72.

$$\frac{34}{5}+\frac{72+5}{2}$$

Add 72 and 5 to get 77.

$$\frac{34}{5}+\frac{77}{2}$$

Least common multiple of 5 and 2 is 10. Convert \frac{34}{5} and \frac{77}{2} to fractions with denominator 10.

$$\frac{68}{10}+\frac{385}{10}$$

Since \frac{68}{10} and \frac{385}{10} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{68+385}{10}$$

Add 68 and 385 to get 453.

$$\frac{453}{10}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 \cdot 151}{2 \cdot 5} = 45\frac{3}{10} = 45.3$$
