Solve 567/8+47/8

$$56 \frac { 7 } { 8 } + 4 \frac { 7 } { 8 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{247}{4}=61.75$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 56 and 8 to get 448.

$$\frac{448+7}{8}+\frac{4\times 8+7}{8}$$

Add 448 and 7 to get 455.

$$\frac{455}{8}+\frac{4\times 8+7}{8}$$

Multiply 4 and 8 to get 32.

$$\frac{455}{8}+\frac{32+7}{8}$$

Add 32 and 7 to get 39.

$$\frac{455}{8}+\frac{39}{8}$$

Since \frac{455}{8} and \frac{39}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{455+39}{8}$$

Add 455 and 39 to get 494.

$$\frac{494}{8}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{494}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{247}{4}$$

Factor
