Solve 6+1/2-4/2+1

$$6 + \frac { 1 } { 2 } - \frac { 4 } { 2 } + 1$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{11}{2}=5.5$$

Solution Steps

Convert 6 to fraction \frac{12}{2}.

$$\frac{12}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{4}{2}+1$$

Since \frac{12}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{12+1}{2}-\frac{4}{2}+1$$

Add 12 and 1 to get 13.

$$\frac{13}{2}-\frac{4}{2}+1$$

Since \frac{13}{2} and \frac{4}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{13-4}{2}+1$$

Subtract 4 from 13 to get 9.

$$\frac{9}{2}+1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.

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

Since \frac{9}{2} and \frac{2}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

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

Add 9 and 2 to get 11.

$$\frac{11}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{11}{2} = 5\frac{1}{2} = 5.5$$
